Serving Older Adults provides services and programs to grow connections and community.
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:
Lectures – One-time presentations that cover popular technology topics.
Workshops – One-time hands-on programs on popular technology topics. May be combined with a lecture as a program series.
Courses – Five and ten-week hands-on programs that engage participants to learn the course topic.
Have questions about technology? Each center hosts one-on-one workshops where you can bring your device (phone, iPad, or laptop) and your questions to work with one of our knowledgable tech trainers. Speak with center staff to schedule an appointment.
Registration is required for Tech Connect classes and BYOD sessions. Sign up by calling your local center.
