This intergenerational digital literacy program responded to a well-documented and urgent community need to support elderly Chinese immigrants with challenges in aging, navigating language barriers, and adapting to a rapidly digitizing world. Youth volunteers taught seniors scam prevention, safe use of artificial tools, and more – all while building their own leadership, teaching, and cross-cultural communication skills.
