Vaughn Jozwiak '24, Francesca Dibble '24, and Maggie Maheras '24

As Ramblers, Vaughn Jozwiak '24, Francesca Dibble '24, and Maggie Maheras '24 started Senior Tech Help, a service that provides senior residents in Chicago's 49th ward with technology assistance. The trio focuses on teaching the basics of email, cyber safety, Zoom, QR codes, and more during their weekly help-desk-type sessions, which consist of both one-on-one help and tutorial presentations. "Access to information is crucial to help seniors find the resources they need, and we can help make sure they do so securely," Vaughn explains. Their program, which is being supported by Alderwoman Maria Hadden's office,  was launched at the Nathalie Salmon House, a senior living community in Chicago, and has expanded to other communities such as the Levy House in East Rogers Park. The trio is working to add more volunteers to continue expanding and, as they head off to college in the fall, to potentially bring this model to their campuses and neighboring communities.
