BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
services to seniors by better equipping them to use technology.
Older individuals are often intimidated by technology and are therefore cut off or limited
from access to receiving and distributing information. The Digital Divide Community
Service Initiative program will be taught by seniors to seniors and provided at libraries, and
community-based locations known to be frequented by seniors. The goal of the program is
