Rural Programming

Senior Planet Low-Density Communities (LDC) powerfully equips local organizations in rural or low-density areas with the tools to help older adults access technology and use it to enhance their lives.

Senior Planet LDC is an adaptable program model that works with community-based organizations to bring Senior Planet’s world-class programs to older adults across the country. Through a licensing structure, Senior Planet works with community-based organizations to develop local trainers to deliver Senior Planet’s proprietary curriculum to older residents in their areas. In addition to training development, Senior Planet provides organizations with:

• An exclusive license for enrolled counties
• Trainer coaching, support and ongoing professional development
• Support for program administrators
• Initialization kit with optimal tech requirements and tools for administrators
• Consultations and special guidance
• Access to a digital Program Support Center
• Newsletter on tech news, profiles of Senior Planet LDC counties, and new program offerings
• Senior Planet membership for all older adult participants

The low-density community expansion program also provides organizations with access to Senior Planet’s curriculum, including a robust library of in-person lectures and workshops.
