Contact Alison Chamberlain at 250-220-2303 or email her at [email protected] Beyond the value in mentoring for the students and gaining skills for the seniors over the past school year both students and seniors benefited from an hour of “technology guiding” and “relationship development”. Students assisted seniors with barriers to technology, helped navigate questions, interests and cyber security, explaining their natural knowledge of the wired world. In turn students gained experience developing a relationship with a person often seven or eight decades older than themselves and a new perspective on what someone in their eighties or nineties is interested in and can do, and the challenges they may face!
