🌎 Be the Connection! | Senior Planet Volunteer Information Session

You don't have to be a tech expert to make a BIG difference in someone's life! 💚

Do you enjoy helping others, learning new things, and making a difference in your community? Whether you're a student, working professional, retiree, educator, healthcare worker, technology enthusiast, or simply someone with a little time and a desire to give back, we have an opportunity for you!

Massachusetts Councils on Aging (MCOA) is recruiting volunteers to help bring Senior Planet, a nationally recognized digital skills program from Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) from AARP, to older adults in communities across Massachusetts.

Imagine helping someone recognize an online scam, access important healthcare information, connect with loved ones, or gain the confidence to use their smartphone. These everyday digital skills can help older adults stay safe, informed, independent, and connected.

💻 No Tech Expertise? No Problem!

You don't need to be an IT professional or an experienced instructor. Patience, curiosity, good communication skills, and a genuine desire to help others are what matter most!

Senior Planet provides free, five-week virtual instructor training, ready-to-use curriculum, and ongoing support.
