We are an organization committed to digital opportunity for older adults.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help communities adopt effective digital opportunity strategies that support older adults in using technology with skill and confidence.
Working together, we can ensure older adults thrive in our community and digital world.
Digital World
Skill and confidence using technology is key to full engagement in our society.
It is vital for maintaining relationships, pursuing interests and doing day to day tasks.
It is essential for social connectedness with family, friends and our communities.
Digital Opportunity
People have access to digital technologies and the skills to use them in a safe and meaningful way.
Technology is constantly changing. The need to be included is not.
Community Role
Every community sector relies on digital technology to connect with people as customers, clients and active residents.
We can all contribute to a thriving community by helping to ensure digital technology is not a barrier to that connection.
Communities thrive when residents of all ages have the ability to live healthy, active and engaged lives.
Build to Thrive
Our communities can come together to foster effective digital opportunity for older adults.
And, the broad range of perspectives, skills, interests, and contributions of older adults can be infused throughout.
In this way, individuals throughout the lifespan can thrive in our communities and digital world.
Stakeholders
Connecting to Thrive can support communities by helping to strengthen connections, raise awareness, and foster strategies that promote digital opportunity throughout the age span. We are all stakeholders.
