TECH HELPLINE FOR THE 60+ COMMUNITY
At a time where we’re online more than ever, a little technical support goes a long way. UJA-Federation of New York’s Tech Helpline, in partnership with Older Adults Technology Services and Senior Planet, provides advice over the phone to questions such as:

• How do I get an attachment to open?
• What happened to my WIFI?
• How does someone see me on a Zoom call?
• I touched something, and now the screen is blank
