Engage generations

The Youngster.co program brings young people and seniors together in your clubs for intergenerational tech help sessions. Youngsters provide personalised tech help for seniors, including how to use their phone, do video calls or connect on social media.

“With the pandemic increasing the dependency on technology… we felt it was important we took action to support our community members.”
Rosemary, National Portfolio Manager

Young people learn from the wisdom and experience of seniors, who teach them important life skills. Through tech help sessions both younger and older generations are able to connect.

“A great opportunity for youth to pick up paid, rewarding work experience and become more active within the community.”
Jenny, Council Manager

Make a difference in your community

The Youngster.co program brings benefits to the whole community, including:

Seniors: Seniors in the local community are able to improve their tech skills and social connection. Studies have shown that participating in intergenerational programs leads to better physical and cognitive function and wellbeing for older adults.

Young people: The program creates jobs for local young people, who can get work experience and learn important life skills from seniors. Studies have shown that participating in intergenerational programs leads to improved social and personal skills for young people.

Your club: The Youngster.co program brings seniors and young people from the local community into your club. If your club has an app or website Youngsters can also help seniors learn how to use it.
