Abstract

Cyber Seniors is a community-based intervention focusing on improving skills and knowledge around technology for senior citizens in the community. The program uses college students as educators and mentors to help the seniors build relationships and increase social connectedness while reducing social isolation. Through our program evaluation class, we reviewed the program and identified areas of success and areas we can improve on for future Cyber Senior programs. We did this by gathering both qualitative and quantitative data, allowing us to identify the needs that were met and what still needs to change. This program has opportunities for both students and senior citizens to grow while also teaching all of us valuable life skills.
