SUCCESSFUL SENIOR GENIUS CLUBTO RETURN

The Senior Genius Club program held at Agoura High School’s Media Center will be resuming service in September three days per month. The Senior Genius Club is a program developed to assist seniors with technological help, provide community service hours for the teens that volunteer and run the program, and create an opportunity to increase intergenerational communication. The program will be offered the first, second,

and third Tuesday of the month at Agoura High School from 3:30-5:30 pm. This year’s program will begin on October 2 and run through May 2019. Seniors may follow the street signs for the closest parking areas and will be greeted by the student participants. Once seniors arrive at the media center, they will sign in and then be assigned to a teen that has expertise in the area requested by the senior. The tasks can be as simple as posting on Facebook, creating an account, updating malware on browsers, establishing a password system, using their phones, tablets, or laptops and much more.

The original program began in late 2016 offering two days a month through a sponsorship from the City of Westlake Village. This year, the City has continued a partnership with the City of Agoura Hills to open the program to seniors in both cities. The program is free and appointments are open on a first-come, first-served basis. Each student is able to help a senior with a 30- minute appointment before having to move on to additional seniors that need help. The last appointment time is 5:00 pm. Both cities would like to thank Agoura High School Principal Dr. Stephanie McClay and staff member Lena Goryoka for making the program a success and opening up Agoura’s beautiful facility to the community.
