Teach tech basics to older adults – qualify for a $10,000 scholarship!

Dosomething.org has a great opportunity for youth and seniors – teach a senior about the Internet and you may win a $10,000 scholarship. I’m going to paste the info from the website here – but the quickest way to get started is to visit the Dosomething.org site.

Teach tech basics to older adults and improve their quality of life.

40% of seniors don’t use the Internet.

That can leave many feeling depressed or isolated from loved ones. So, teach an older adult the basics — and wonders! — of technology!

Teach tech to an older adult, send a pic of the two of you in action, and — bam! — you’ll enter to win a $10,000 scholarship.

AND, for each senior you teach, you earn another entry to win. So teach one senior and send a photo = one chance to win. Teach 12 seniors and send 12 photos = 12 chances to win. (And so on!)

  1. I signed up for this and received a text from dosomething.org that indicated they will send me weekly texts on campaigns that I can get involved in.
