Our Mission
Bridging the gap between modern technology and its usage by senior citizens.
GenTech is a nonprofit organization that serves communities across the DMV Area. Our primary mission is to bridge the gap between modern technology and its usage by senior citizens.
At GenTech, we believe that teaching the ability to use technology to senior citizens will help them further connect with family and friends, continue lifelong learning, maintain greater independence in their daily lives, improve quality of life, and accomplish more than what they thought would be possible.
