GARY (July 24, 2023) – The Urban League of Northwest Indiana (Gary, IN) graduated some Senior Tekkies recently.

“Senior Tekkies” is a program that helps seniors learn basic digital literacy skills. The workshops were taught by Chelsea Whittington, CEO of C WHITT PR.

At the graduation ceremony, she said, “Working with seniors gives my heart such joy. It’s like being in a room filled with my parents who are eager to learn. We have lots of fun in class, and I try hard to remove hesitation or concerns they may have about working with technology.”

Urban League President and CEO Dr. Vanessa McCloud said, “Senior Tekkie class is steadily becoming on of our most popular offerings. Not only is there a digital divide in disparaged communities, but age is a factor when it comes to the technology learning curve. We are working to close both.”
