On December 13th, 2025, AYLUS Basking Ridge hosted its weekly iPad Club at Fellowship Village. Our members worked closely with seniors, patiently guiding them through tasks like entering the passcode to enter the phone to call someone, changing the wallpaper and adding phone number on walllpaper, buying tickets to a concert using QR code, getting notifications/vibration/sound on different apps using android, getting to home screen on Android. We helped one of the senior who did not like the updated phone system and wanted to get help to go back to the old version, and also helped some other seniors to reach to their close relatives when they forget their password and broke them device.
What made the session special weren’t just the tech skills learned—it was the connections formed along the way. Volunteers celebrated every “aha” moment, offered encouragement for small successes, and shared smiles and stories with the seniors. Seniors left feeling more confident and empowered with their devices, while volunteers walked away inspired by the warmth, curiosity, and joy of the people they helped. By the end of the morning, it was clear that learning together can create meaningful bonds and moments that linger far beyond the screen.
