One Click Closer to Silver & Savvy

Senior Tech Interest Survey-A Black Women Teach Initiative

Technology should connect us — not overwhelm us.

Through our ongoing Black Women Teach initiative, Brooklyn WATE offers subject-based learning opportunities that reduce barriers and increase access in our community.

We have tailored our Silver & Savvy Tech Series for seniors of all genders and would love your input. This short, voluntary survey helps us understand your comfort level with technology and what you would like to learn. Your responses will be used to tailor the best possible offering to support the needs of each cohort. Whether you’re confident or just getting started, we’re here to help you move one click closer to feeling capable and connected.
