Digital Skills For Seniors Program
About Digital Skills Program
The Digital Skills for Seniors program aims to support seniors (55+) to Age Well at Home (AWAH) by providing them with digital literacy skills. These skills will equip seniors to access resources available to them in their communities through digital platforms and will enhance their quality of life by improving their social connections. The project further promotes the social inclusion of seniors by providing them with volunteer opportunities that will help them expand their support networks and contribute to their communities.
This pan-Canadian project is led by PICS Society and works in collaboration with Northwest Territories Literacy Council (NWTLC) and Niagara Folk Arts Multicultural Centre (NFAMC) to serve seniors in B.C., NWT and Ontario.
