Silver Thread helps young people support older generations with everyday technology — using simple, structured toolkits you can run at home, in schools, or in your community.
Many older people feel left behind by technology.
At the same time, younger people have the skills to help — but not always a simple way to do it.
Silver Thread connects the two.
Use a simple toolkit to guide one short session
Focus on everyday things — messages, apps, settings
Small wins lead to real independence
Help a parent or grandparent
Students support older members of the community
Run sessions locally with simple structure
Silver Thread started as a simple idea — helping older people feel more confident using their phones.
After seeing the impact in a local community, we built a toolkit so others could do the same — anywhere.
