Digital Equity for Bronx Youth and Seniors

What problem would you like to solve?

Access to technological resources for seniors and youth residents of the Bronx.

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

This is important because many seniors in the Bronx are isolated and many youth need positive activities to do. Seniors will not be isolated. Youth can access programs. Youth and Seniors can work together and build intergenerational relationships.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Provide technological devices for Bronx Seniors and train Bronx youth to serve as tech tutors to seniors assisting them with device set-up, repair, maintenance and young people can teach seniors how to use computers, laptops, smartphones, or tablets.

Who would that help?

Bronx seniors and youth.
