Hawaii’s leading initiative focused on equipping middle and high school students with essential technology skills while providing crucial support to our kūpuna (seniors). Our mission is to close the digital divide, promote digital equity across generations, and prepare Hawaii's youth for success in the modern workforce.
Through our partnership with Connected Nation and their Teens Teach Tech curriculum, Tech Savvy Teens participants are trained in digital literacy, software, and tech support skills. Our goal is to meet each individual where they are in their digital journey, offering tailored assistance to ensure everyone benefits from the technology available to them. Youth in the program bridge generational gaps by sharing their knowledge with kūpuna and other vulnerable groups, ensuring everyone, regardless of age or ability, experience the advantages of digital inclusion.
