Westfield seniors have found a friend in technology with the help of Senior Tech Buddies, a club at Westfield High School. This innovative initiative pairs high school students with elderly community members, creating a bridge between generations while enhancing digital literacy among seniors.
The Senior Tech Buddies club focuses on teaching seniors how to navigate various technological devices and applications, from smartphones to social media platforms. Many seniors often feel overwhelmed by the rapid advancements in technology, and this program aims to alleviate those concerns by providing personalized assistance.
Students volunteer their time to work one-on-one with seniors, helping them understand everything from sending emails to video calling family members. The interactions not only empower seniors to stay connected with loved ones but also foster meaningful relationships between the youth and the elderly.
The initiative has received positive feedback from participants, highlighting the importance of community engagement and the value of intergenerational learning in today's tech-driven world.
