Partner with TechGuides

We partner with community organizations that already have the trust of the people we want to reach.

How it works

TechGuides partners with organizations that serve seniors and families. We bring the content and facilitators. You bring the space and the people. Together we run sessions that beginners can actually follow.

Our workshops are free for participants. We handle all preparation and materials, including reference cards. Sessions run 60 to 90 minutes and work in community rooms, classrooms, worship spaces, or anywhere a group can gather comfortably. Topics can include scam prevention, AI literacy, online privacy, and digital safety.

We're looking for organizations in Thorncliffe Park, Don Mills, and surrounding neighbourhoods. If that sounds like your community, we'd like to hear from you.

Host a workshop

Where we've been

We've run pilot workshops with four organizations so far:

TNO (The Neighbourhood Organization)

TNO serves residents in Thorncliffe Park. We ran sessions with parents covering scam recognition, online privacy, and digital basics.

Chapel in the Park United Church

Chapel in the Park hosts programming for older adults in Thorncliffe Park. We've run multiple digital safety and AI literacy sessions with seniors there.

St. Bonaventure Parish

St. Bonaventure Parish on Leslie St. in Toronto hosts an active seniors community. We ran a session on AI and online safety for around 50 seniors, covering how to recognize AI-driven scams and protect themselves online.

Blessed Trinity Parish

At Blessed Trinity Parish in North York (Bayview & Finch), we ran a summer workshop on AI, deepfakes, and online safety for over 75 attendees, and returned in October for a follow-up session on "AI Appreciation for Daily Life."

These are pilot partnerships. We're learning from each session and improving as we go.
