Twenty older adults are enhancing their computer skills during a four-week technology access program at the Camano Center. This initiative aims to empower seniors by providing them with essential digital literacy skills that are increasingly important in today’s tech-driven world.

Participants engage in hands-on learning experiences, focusing on various topics such as internet navigation, email usage, and social media engagement. The program not only aims to improve technical abilities but also fosters social connections among participants, creating a supportive learning environment.

Instructors emphasize the importance of technology in maintaining relationships with family and friends, especially for those who may feel isolated. As seniors become more proficient in using devices, they gain confidence and independence in managing their daily activities.

The technology access program has received positive feedback from attendees, many of whom express excitement about applying their newfound skills in real-world scenarios. This initiative exemplifies the growing recognition of the need for digital literacy among older populations.
