AI for Seniors – Free Community Workshops
Who We Are
VolksAI is a youth-led initiative founded by Isa Ibrahim, a high school researcher and educator passionate about accessibility to AI for all people. The AI for Seniors program is based on Isa’s independent research on technology usage among adults over 40 and his mission to close the generational digital divide through education and service.
About the Program
AI for Seniors is a student-led initiative by VolksAI that empowers older adults to confidently use artificial intelligence tools in their everyday lives. We offer free, hands-on workshops in local libraries and senior centers to help participants stay safe online, connect with loved ones, and complete daily tasks using tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot.
