We empower Older Wiser Learners (OWL) to participate effectively in a technological world.
OUR MISSION
EngAging Seniors bridges the digital and social divide by providing older adults with mobile digital literacy skills and educational opportunities. We empower seniors to overcome isolation, access essential services, and connect with their community and the wider world, which enhances seniors’ overall quality of life.
OUR VISION
We envision a dedicated space for older adults providing an environment that will foster learning, exploring and socializing with other like-minded peers. Within this community, mobile technological support will assure that no senior is left behind in the digital age.
Our community-building programs help combat the debilitating isolation of seniors.
ISOLATION REDUCES LIFE SPAN AND DECREASES QUALITY OF LIFE:
Similar to smoking
15 cigarettes a day
32% increased risk
of stroke
50% increased risk
of dementia
EngAging Seniors creates and maintains vital social connections.
We believe in the power of community to change lives.
We’ve come a long way since we started in 2021, but there is still much to do—and we can’t do it alone! EngAging Seniors relies on generous donations from organizations and individuals to ensure our members continue to laugh, learn, grow and ENGAGE!
