TOGETHER WE CAN! Volunteer Markham is excited to support Student Helpers! This team of volunteers are eager to help seniors with their IT challenges, remotely, FOR FREE, across North America!
Meet Matt from Student Helpers, a technology support hotline for seniors.
Matt volunteers with over 100 eager Student Helpers to provide a free hotline for seniors to call when they have day-to-day technology questions. They are a student-run non-profit initiative that is ready to answer the phone and help seniors at any time.
Matt, a recent graduate from the University of Guelph, is most proud of his accomplishment of starting a business while he was in school and winning a deal on CBC’s Dragons’ Den. He is active in the startup community and loves helping others. Matt is joined by many warm and passionate students who want to help!
