Livingston high school students will pair up with residents 62 and older to help them learn smart devices at a free workshop series starting Tuesday, Oct. 13.
The program, called "Keeping up with Technology (ages 62+)," is run by Livingston Recreation and Senior Services. Sessions take place at the Livingston Senior/Community Center, 204 Hillside Ave., from 3 to 4 p.m.
Six sessions are scheduled between October and December, with two dates each month. The township's announcement lists the following dates:
- Oct. 13 and Oct. 27
- Nov. 10 and Nov. 24
- Dec. 8 and Dec. 22
All six dates fall on Tuesdays. The township describes the series as meeting "the 2nd Tuesday of the month," though the schedule also includes a second session later each month. Whether the program continues into 2027 has not been announced.
Participants must bring their own phone, tablet or computer. The workshops are free, but pre-registration is required.
Residents can sign up online through Community Pass or in person at the Senior/Community Center, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The township's announcement does not name the specific high school or faculty adviser organizing the student volunteers.
