Senior Connection Center, a nonprofit serving older adults in Hillsborough, Manatee, Polk, Highlands, and Hardee counties, has partnered with GetSetUp, the largest and fastest-growing virtual social learning platform designed specifically for older adults. This partnership aims to bridge the digital divide and combat social isolation by providing 10,000 live, interactive classes to residents in these counties.
GetSetUp's customized platform offers a safe and supportive environment for older adults to learn, create, and share their knowledge. The platform addresses the social determinants of health by ensuring that older adults remain connected to the tools they need to thrive and age in place. From everyday technical skills to enrichment-focused courses on healthy cooking, virtual travel, and more, all classes are taught live by experts who are older adults themselves.
GetSetUp's video learning interface is tailored to older adults of all tech levels, offering support through phone assistance and in-class help to ensure a smooth learning experience. The platform includes a booking system with regular reminders and after-class notes, making it easy for learners to stay engaged. With a catalog of over 3,000 classes that shift weekly, older adults in the Tampa Bay area can connect with a global community of over 4.4 million peers, all from the comfort and safety of their homes.
"Senior Connection Center (SCC) has always pursued new and innovative ways to help older adults and their caregivers maintain their independence by supporting their physical and mental health," says Patty Suarez, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for SCC. "We are so excited to be able to offer this new, user-friendly tool, GetSetUp, to local seniors and their caregivers at no charge to them."
The partnership between Senior Connection Center and GetSetUp not only promotes digital literacy but also helps reduce social isolation, a leading cause of illness and death among older adults. Lawrence Kosick, President and Co-Founder of GetSetUp, explains, "We hear learner feedback daily about how we are helping reduce social isolation. Older adults on our platform find peers that are passionate about similar topics. While learners may be alone physically at times, they don't have to be lonely thanks to all the friendships and connection opportunities we are creating on GetSetUp. No matter where you are, social learning with friends is just a click away."
Seniors aged 60 and older living in Hillsborough, Manatee, Polk, Highlands, or Hardee counties, along with their caregivers, can begin the GetSetUp registration process by visiting the Senior Connection Center website.
