Jerrick Wu | ’20-’21 Director of Activities Technology has grown to become a huge part of our daily lives. Whether it is contacting others, typing an essay, or even researching, technology has become the main source we are turning to. Especially during this pandemic, one of the things we refer back to the most is our technology. We use it every day for school, contacting friends, and even scrolling through social media. However, many are struggling to keep up with the fast-paced growing technology or even simply calling their loved ones. As a result, Technior, an event striving to help local seniors citizens with their technology, has decided to start hosting virtual classes. Through this, volunteers can continue assisting seniors with the technical problems they are experiencing in this digital age even during the pandemic. They are often stuck at home with their devices, lacking the ability to use them to their full potential. As a result, as volunteers, we can not only assist them with problems that they have but teach them neat tricks that they can use to make their lives easier. As for me, I have been volunteering at Technior ever since 7th grade, and it is the best experience yet. Not only do you feel the joy of helping people out, but you are also able to chat with them and learn lessons you will never forget. All the seniors are very sweet and you get to build an unforgettable bond. As a result, I strongly suggest that each and every one of you give it a shot and volunteer at some classes. These are all virtual classes held through Zoom and will take place every Tuesday starting December 1st, from 2 - 3 PM. Make sure to check out our recent emails for more information regarding how to sign up and the meeting link. There is a limit for volunteers so make sure to sign up quickly to guarantee a spot! See you soon and happy volunteering!
