Our Story

One day, my Grandmother needed help installing a new television. When we arrived, I quickly helped her set up the new television, and showed her how to use some of the basic functionality. I wondered, “How many other people need help learning how to use their television”, and from that day, I knew that it was imperative to help offer support to those who need it. At that moment, I knew that I had to start “Technology Trained by Teens”.

With each passing year, having access to technology becomes more imperative. During the pandemic, having no access to technology meant a lack of connection. Various smartphone apps - like Zoom, Facetime, or even iMessage - can greatly increase someone’s quality of life. At Technology Trained by Teens, we strive to help close the digital divide by teaching seniors how to use such technology.
