Grandparents (including those helping to raise their grandchildren) learn basic computer skills in order to access school information, healthcare, and support services. The sessions can be one-to-one or in small groups, whichever is best for the grandparents' schedules. Families receive books for the grandchildren to support reading and literacy.

With new technology skills, grandparents can help their grandchildren access school information thereby increasing their participation and success in school. -- Because of the current situation (Covid-19), we are conducting all programs remotely by Zoom for the safety of our tutors and students. The current program runs from March 31- April 28, 2021 - on Wednesdays (from 11:00 a.m. to Noon).
