About LevelUp Senior Tech Bridge
Our Mission
The mission of LevelUp Senior Tech Bridge is to provide free to low-cost IT services and ongoing education to older adults, individuals with disabilities, and marginalized communities in Colorado. By addressing the digital literacy gap within these communities, we aim to reduce self-isolation and combat depression. We promote lifelong learning and emphasize the importance of connecting with family, friends, support groups, and essential services. Our services include setting up and maintaining cell phones, televisions, computers, and other connected devices that support functional living and communication. Our efforts are currently concentrated in Boulder County, and we envision expanding to other counties in Colorado.
