Programs & Activities
Program 1
$71K-accessing technology for all-in response to covid-19 and the resulting increase in social isolation, the needham community council and the council on aging formed a partnership to equip adults in needham with free electronic tablets and tutor supports to help them learn how to use the device. The goal is to allow recipients to engage in social, recreational, educational activities as well as medical appointments and on-line ordering of essentials like prescriptions and food. A team of volunteer tutors along with one full-time staff person help recipients feel comfortable using the device. After a thorough interview process to evaluate the new users' interests, the tablet is personalized with apps and websites that they might find most helpful. Through a variety of learning opportunities from one-on-one training to group classes, new users are connecting to friends and family and discovering the benefits of access to technology.
Program 2

Tutors help students who are new to the us learn english and adjust to the challenges of living in their new culture. Successful tutors are welcoming, patient, flexible and able to work with a variety of different people. In addition, volunteers should be fluent english speakers and familiar with american culture.
