TechHeroes has taken root in Bloomington in the Bell Trace community from 1-3 p.m. on Sundays. 

The program offers technology assistance for seniors, including help with cellphones, tablets, Facebook, Skype and more!

An important goal of the program involves connection. The program helps youth and seniors connect in a respectful, caring and genuine way that has meaningful interaction and engagement.
 
TechHeroes connects the generations through tech tutoring. Young people are able to mentor seniors in how to use technology to do the things they want to do - connect through Facebook, watch online programs, use a mobile device, and much more!

Currently, TechHeros is working with Serve IT students and Boys and Girls Club members to become TechHeroes and develop the program.

Your skills are needed to support the program with development, including a Linux programmer to create a video call kiosk, social media, and tech tutoring.
