This Week ON MNN

Join MNN Community Producers as they talk with mentors who provide wisdom and guidance to those they work with. 

Active Aging Stories introduces viewers to senior citizens living active, creative and challenging lives. In this episode we take a look at an unconventional pairing, young teachers and older students. This young group of mentors are part of a project that puts together young people with folks living in a senior residence. The goal is to bridge the digital divide by having the younger generation teach computer skills to a generation of people that the digital revolution has largely left behind. Join us for a look into this very special project. 

Sunday 1PM / Wednesday 7PM

Watch this intriguing discussion only on MNN.
