Program Overview

Tech Helps is a computer literacy program for senior adults ages 60 and older. The program is currently available in the counties of Chester, Decatur, Hardeman, Hardin, Haywood, Henderson, Madison and McNairy. Tech Helps is partnering with Tech Goes Home of Tennessee to provide first time participants with a Chromebook and fifteen hours of basic computer skills. In an effort to help protect our senior adults from online scams we will also focus on cyber security. Volunteers will join our team and be trained through Tech Goes Home to teach training sessions within our local communities.

Assistance will be provided to participants to access low cost internet services. Subsidizing funds are available to offset the cost for those who qualify. Transportation to and from training sessions will be provided if needed at no cost through Southwest HRA Transportation Department.
