Teens create digital awareness for senior citizens with nonprofit: 'TechCare USA'

EVESHAM, New Jersey (WPVI) -- These South Jersey teens are ensuring the older generation doesn't get forgotten.

Kevin Cheng started his own nonprofit: "TechCare USA."

"The passion came from... my Grandpa. He lives in China...I wasn't really able to fully call him as easily as I can call my friends. And that's kind of the passion because I realized that these seniors...they're feeling left behind," said Cheng.

The goal is to educate senior citizens about technology and the internet as a way to integrate them into modern activities

"That feeling, once they've realized how useful technology really is and that they finally understand it. I can't even describe it. It's just a wonderful feeling," he continued.

Cheng collaborates with his own team, including his long-time best friend: Chase.

"I'm a digital native, but maybe someone in that room over there might not be. And it's...our job to go hand in hand and give each other new information and help each other grow as a community," said Vice President of TechCare USA, Chase Rinaldi.
"They're an essential part of our community. We should always care for them, like how they cared for you," Rinaldi continued.

One of their programs took place at The Gibson House Community Center in Evesham Township.
