Senior Technology Tutoring is an intergenerational program that brings seniors and college students together, all the while helping bridge the technology gap that can exist between generations. Each week after classes, a group of students will spend about an hour with seniors. Each student tutor will work one-on-one with a senior. In this hour, students will assist seniors with navigating the various features of their own technology devices such as helping them simply set up their Home Screen or applying for a job at the local grocery store. This program will not only allow seniors to gain confidence with their technology, but also create an intergenerational community between students and seniors.

Our organization aims to provide an opportunity for Williams College students to learn and practice woodworking and related handicrafts in a safe and educational environment. We also aim to engage with the community through woodworking-related service projects with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity. The club offers a place for students to create and work with their hands in a way that may not be included in their normal academic schedule, and a chance to engage in community service projects using the skills they have acquired through club activities.
