Tech Connect for Older Adults

Tech Connect staff are specially trained to provide support and instruction to older adults. Class sizes are kept low to ensure appropriate support for each learner. Our hands-on classes offer participants the opportunity to learn and practice with the support of a skilled instructor.

SOA is one of only a few Senior Planet from AARP licensed partners in Southeast Wisconsin! We can help you: 

  • Stay in touch through voice and video calls, text messages, emails, and social media posts
  • See your doctor virtually
  • Bank online
  • Learn new technology
  • Attend a virtual church service
  • Watch videos to learn a new hobby
  • Stream music, TV shows, and movies
  • And more!
