URGENT UPDATE: The Saugus Senior Center has just announced a groundbreaking partnership with KevTech, set to kick off in April 2026. This initiative aims to empower seniors by enhancing their technology skills through hands-on training and expert support.
Officials confirmed that the program will focus on teaching seniors how to effectively use their personal laptops and devices, addressing a critical need for digital literacy among older adults. The classes, led by Kevin Figueroa, founder of KevTech Services, will provide tailored assistance, ensuring participants feel confident navigating today’s technology.
Figueroa, who has been serving the senior community for over five years, has a proven track record of success. He began his journey by organizing a basic iPhone class at a senior center in Marblehead and has since expanded his efforts to multiple centers. His commitment to making technology accessible to seniors has garnered significant attention.
In a bid to further support this initiative, Figueroa has applied for a Cultural Council grant to offer these valuable classes free of charge in Saugus. This move reflects the growing recognition of the importance of tech education for seniors, particularly as the digital landscape continues to evolve.
As the program gears up for its launch in April, seniors and their families are encouraged to stay tuned for more details on registration and class schedules. This partnership not only represents a significant step in bridging the technology gap for older adults but also underscores the community’s commitment to fostering lifelong learning.
With the demand for tech-savvy seniors on the rise, this collaboration is expected to have a lasting impact, enhancing quality of life and connectivity for the aging population in Saugus. Don’t miss the opportunity to get involved in this transformative initiative!
