Empower Our Seniors

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal

What problem would you like to solve?

Lack of knowledge about technology prevents seniors from having access to the internet and to things like email and MyChart (hospital records).

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

It is important to solve because times are changing and it is important for our seniors to have basic technological skills in order to access available services and resources.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Workshops teaching seniors to use computer technology including email and MyChart hospital records.

Who would that help?

The elderly in our community.

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

Mott Haven, Port Morris, Melrose
