TECH ANGELS TO OFFER FREE HELP TO SENIORS WHO NEED ASSISTANCE NAVIGATING COMPUTERS/TECHNOLOGY

Joshua Topf will be at the Theodore Young Community Center this Saturday and every other Saturday to provide free assistance


TECH ANGELS TO RE-START PROGRAM OFFERING SENIOR CITIZENS FREE HELP NAVIGATING TECHNOLOGY PROBLEMS
ANGELS TO BE AT THEODORE YOUNG COMMUNITY CENTER THIS SAT AND EVERY OTHER WEEKEND

The Tech Angels are an organization that Joshua Topf started in the winter of last year. He and other students volunteer their time helping Senior citizens with their technological struggles. The idea first came to Joshua while he was helping his grandfather with his computer, and it occurred to him that there are most likely many other Senior citizens who have similar troubles, but might not have a child or grandchild readily available or willing to help them. As a result, Joshua and a few friends volunteered their time all last year at the Theodore D. Young community center, every other weekend, and each session they had numerous seniors come in, all of whom they were able to help with whatever problems they had.

Moving forwards, they are planning on being at the Theodore D Young community center, from 1030am -12pm, on October 19th, November 2nd, November 16th, December 7th, and December 21st. Additionally, extra sessions may be held at Edgemont Jr/Sr highschool. If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions please contact him @jtopf.student.edgemont.org.
This is a link to an interview I had with Joshua earlier this year about the Tech Angels.
We are fortunate to live in a community that has students who give back – and who are making a positive difference in the lives of others.
