AARP Foundation's program Mentor Up connects teens and young adults with older generations to "reverse mentor" seniors on new technology skills and more.
While the program provides many outlets for the generations to learn from each other, one of the main focuses is technology. Studies show that 25% of Americans between 50-64 are unable to use the internet.
Technology is second nature to younger generations and a new world to older ones. Volunteers spend about 30 minutes teaching seniors basic skills to text or send emails.
