Technology shouldn't leave anyone behind.

THHYE — Technology Helping Hands for Youth and Elderly — is a student-led nonprofit dedicated to making technology accessible for older adults in the Columbus metro area.

We believe every person deserves to feel confident with technology. Our volunteers sit one-on-one and in small groups with seniors, walking through real-world skills in a patient, judgment-free environment.

All workshops are completely free, open to all skill levels, and held at accessible community locations including the Delaware County District Library Orange Branch and Dublin Public Library branches.
