Teen volunteers in St. Louis help seniors dive in and learn how to surf the internet, use smartphones, digital cameras, grasp social media, and access Skype. With the lack of summer employment opportunities for youth, volunTEENnation.org recruited several teens to tutor senior citizens and offer one-on-one training at local retirement centers, community centers, and nursing homes. The teens learn to problem-solve and develop an understanding of the benefits of intergenerational relationships, while the seniors learn new skills and values. High school students can sign up to tutor local senior citizens one-on-one or in groups.
