Bring free tech help to your community

We partner with community spaces to host free tech support events and clinics, where older adults can drop by with their phones, tablets, or computers and receive friendly, one-on-one help. Our goal is to help people feel confident using technology while creating meaningful community engagement.

Whether you’re planning a special event, looking to increase foot traffic, or want to offer recurring tech support sessions, Silver Wizard can tailor an experience that fits your space and audience.
