ABOUT US
Helping seniors feel more comfortable and confident with technology
Senior Tech Support at Carolina was born from a simple observation: our elderly neighbors and loved ones often struggle with technology and just need someone patient to help them learn. We're here to fill that gap.
One-on-One Sessions
Personalized tech support tailored to each individual's needs, pace, and comfort level with technology.
Scam Prevention Workshops
Small group workshops teaching seniors how to identify and avoid common online scams and fraud attempts.
Student Volunteers
Friendly UNC students who are patient, understanding, and passionate about helping others learn.
Community Connection
Building meaningful connections between students and older adults while helping seniors become more comfortable with technology.
