Not Sure What You Need?
I JUST NEED HELP
You don't have to know what your problem is called. Tell Everyday Connect what you're trying to do, and we'll help point you in the right direction.
- “How do I make my phone ring again?”
- “How do I send this picture?”
- “Does this message look suspicious?”
Why Everyday Connect Is Different
Some technology solutions simplify a device. Others provide classes or require special hardware. Everyday Connect takes a different approach — helping you learn and confidently use the technology you already have.
Use the phone you already own
iPhone or Android. No special senior-only device is required. Everyday Connect helps you become more comfortable with the technology already in your hands.
Learn + get help
Follow simple step-by-step lessons when you want to learn. Use Ask Everyday Connect or I Just Need Help when you need assistance.
More than phone basics
Go beyond calling and texting. Learn everyday apps, healthcare technology, accessibility, AI and digital safety.
In-person + digital support
Technology Made Simple workshops provide hands-on learning. Everyday Connect provides continued practice and guidance between sessions.
Build confidence, not dependence
The goal is not simply to make a phone easier. The goal is to help older adults become more comfortable, confident and independent using technology.
Learn in Class. Keep Learning at Home.
Everyday Connect works alongside Technology Made Simple workshops from the Fast Freddy Experience.
