Volunteers pre-load donated tablets with video conferencing software, networking opportunities, several mind-occupying apps, and other entertainment options. The in-store purchasing function may also be disabled so less tech savvy seniors are not exploited by scammers.

Our Partner Tablet Program provides shareable tablets and support programs to aging service providers. The Senior Tablet program provides a tablet and services for older adults who live independently.This opportunity is available throughout the year! Thank you!!!
