URGENT UPDATE: The Saugus Senior Center has just announced a groundbreaking partnership with KevTech, set to launch in April 2026. This collaboration aims to empower local seniors by providing hands-on technology training, enhancing their digital skills and confidence in using personal devices.
Starting in April, seniors will benefit from expert-led classes designed to demystify laptops and smartphones, ensuring they can navigate the digital world with ease. Kevin Figueroa, founder of KevTech Services, has been a key player in this initiative, having dedicated the last five years to helping seniors understand technology both in community centers and in their homes.
Figueroa’s journey began with a basic iPhone class he organized at a senior center in Marblehead. His success there paved the way for collaboration with multiple centers, and now he is working tirelessly to secure a Cultural Council grant to offer these vital services free of charge in Saugus.
This development is crucial as it addresses the growing digital divide faced by seniors, who often feel overwhelmed by technology. The Saugus Senior Center is taking a proactive stance to ensure that older adults are not left behind in an increasingly digital world.
As the program rolls out, residents can expect a schedule of classes tailored to their needs, focusing on the functionalities that matter most. The partnership with KevTech is not just about learning; it’s about fostering independence and enhancing quality of life for seniors in the community.
Stay tuned for more updates as details of the classes become available. This initiative marks a significant step toward inclusivity in technology for Saugus seniors, and it’s an opportunity they won’t want to miss!
