Levite Jewish Community Center 3960 Montclair Road, Mountain Brook, Alabama Birmingham, AL 35213
Cyber Seniors, a national program aimed at bridging the generational gap between senior citizens and technology, began in 2016 after Collate Jewish Family Services social worker Catherine Findley viewed a documentary about a similar program in Toronto. Its popularity has since taken off, and CJFS, who has hosted this program in other Birmingham locations, is bringing a session to the Levite Jewish Community Center starting in October.
With the help of local volunteer students, senior citizens will learn how to more effectively use the technology that surrounds them in a one-on-one setting.
While the classes are open to the public and free of charge, participants must register by emailing Jennifer Nemet at jennifer@cjfsbham.org or by calling 278-7118. Witt said the classes are limited to 17 participants and any registrants over this number will be added to a waitlist forfuture sessions.
