With support from the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP), RIWC’s Digital Literacy & Wellness initiative promotes community engagement and digital inclusion.  Our program provides both individual and group technical skills training workshops directed towards older adults (ages 45-65) and seniors (ages 65+) within our community to improve their health and well-being.

Through our one-to-one Mentorship Program, service users will be matched with one of our mentors for a standard period of 8-weeks (or as long as needed) to achieve the following:

1. Complete an individual needs assessments to understand the service users goals.

2. Develop a personalized learning plan to address the service user’s needs.

3. Arrange for access to technology if the service user does not currently have any.

4. Cover key topics that will help them navigate and access information about healthcare, government benefits, virtual supports in the community, and more!

Clients who are eligible for the program include older adults (ages 45-64) and seniors (65+) living in the City of Toronto who need technical skills training to access information and resources in the community.
