Student-run nonprofit · Southlake, Texas

Tech help for seniors, from students who show up in person. One question at a time.

ElderTech volunteers visit senior centers and churches to sit down with seniors one-on-one, teach short workshops, and leave behind step-by-step guides. We started in Southlake and now work with 25+ partner sites through 6 student-run chapters.

What we do

What happens when we visit.

Each visit is built around the devices and apps the seniors there actually use.

One-on-one help

A student sits with one senior and works on whatever they bring: a phone that won't connect to Wi-Fi, a doctor's portal login, photos that need to reach the grandkids.

Short workshops

A talk for a room of residents on a single topic, like spotting scam texts or joining a video call, followed by questions.

Guides to keep

Step-by-step guides in plain language, so the fix still makes sense next week when no one is there to help.

  • Video calls
  • Scam texts and emails
  • Telehealth visits
  • Passwords
  • Finding photos
  • Bigger text
