'ElderBook' - Connecting Seniors with Caring Volunteers

For many retired professionals, volunteering in their communities becomes a huge part of their lives.  But many are not able to volunteer in person because of a physical ailment or driving limitations.   A lifetime of experience is invaluable and should be valued, accessible, and utilized.  

Students of all demographics struggle in school and it's proven that personal mentors and tutors continue to provide individual support that meets educational and even emotional needs.   But so many students do not have a mentor or the money for a tutor.  

When you join the two most vulnerable populations online, it takes a very secure website, which is very expensive to build and maintain.  The idea is that seniors would pay a small monthly fee, and students of any age would be able to join for free.  The R&D proved that schools would welcome the program via their laptops already used in after school programs.  And seniors also welcome the opportunity to continue to share and engage with youth in need.
