About TechPals
Learn about our mission, our story, and the people behind TechPals.
Our Story
TechPals was founded with a simple yet powerful vision: to bridge the digital divide for seniors in our communities. We recognized that as technology continues to advance rapidly, many seniors are being left behind, unable to access essential services, connect with loved ones, or enjoy the benefits of the digital world.
What started as a small group of volunteers teaching basic computer skills at a local community center has grown into a nationwide movement with chapters across the country. Our dedicated team of volunteers works tirelessly to create accessible, engaging, and practical learning experiences for seniors.
Today, TechPals continues to expand its reach, bringing digital literacy to more seniors every day and empowering them to navigate the digital world with confidence and independence.
