Coalition Meeting Overviews
New Pilot Program Comes to the Island
Healthy Aging has partnered with Elderly Services Cape Cod and the Islands to bring Computer Essentials to Martha's Vineyard. This is an AARP program created by Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) which engages, trains and supports older adults in using technology to improve their quality of life and enhance their social and civic engagement.
This 5-week course is at no cost to our students and teaches older adults how to use basic functions of a personal computer, how to safely navigate the internet, how to receive and send emails, and much more!
Thank you to the Oak Bluffs Council on Aging for hosting our first Computer Essentials Class!
