All ages needs connection (online and in-person!). Tech Cafe's are a big part of our Digital Dividends program. It's an opportunity for older adults to drop in, bring their devices, troubleshoot tech issues, investigate questions and connect with younger program participants. At Morville House, our intergenerational group has been busy! #DigitalEquity #TechAccess #TechSkills #DigitalInclusion #intergenerational #olderadults National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA) Maloney Properties, Inc.

We had a BLAST at our Monthly In-Service this morning at Northeastern Crossing! Jean, our Director of Development, and Madison, one of our CitySites Program Managers led an engaging session full of minute-to-win-it and board games to test out for CitySites programming. With a team that is often spread across Boston, we cherish the opportunity to connect with each other and reinvest the energy we gain from one another back into older Bostonians. Thank you to our gracious hosts from Northeastern University City and Community Engagement for always making us feel so welcome, and for the delicious treats! #relationshipbuilding #socialconnection #LBFEBoston
