These US high school seniors teach older adults around the world how to use technology
Canterbury High students teach seniors technology skills through CLEO, a program that now serves older adults across the United States and internationally.
- Six years ago, Canterbury High School students launched Computer Literacy Education Outreach , a program teaching seniors how to use technology and stay connected to the world around them.
- The project originated as a way for students to stay in touch with their own grandparents, driven by confidence they could help seniors resolve technology issues.
- Student volunteers visit Brookdale Senior Living weekly, where resident Bob Bockman admitted, "I don't do any of it" regarding his interest in technology.
- Executive Director Bradley Laquis described the initiative as "very meaningful," noting that "seeing the smile on the senior citizens' faces truly just means a lot."
- The initiative has grown from helping seniors in one city into a nationwide and international program, with resident Jeanne McCafferty in Lee County, Florida, praising the students' dedication.
