FOSTER HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
PROMOTE HEALTH & WELLNESS
The Danville Senior Center’s free tech support
workshops are becoming increasingly popular due
to the community's growing tech needs. This
volunteer lead program is one of the many volunteer
opportunities provided by the Danville Senior
Center to support the community. The hands-on,
personalized support provided by a volunteer has
proven to be invaluable for adults and seniors
seeking help with their Apple-based systems and
Android mobile devices and laptops. Adults and
Seniors are able to get quick assistance with minor
issues, while also allowing more comprehensive help
for those needing detailed guidance. Word has
spread through the community, increasing
attendance and creating a supportive environment
where individuals feel comfortable asking questions
and learning more about their devices.
