Seniors 60 years or older in the Columbia metropolitan area who would like to learn how to use digital media to share their experience, insight and historic perspective with the Midlands community should apply to be a BGTIME participant. Seniors who have access to the Internet may gain a better understanding of the program by reading some of the stories written by current participants on a broad range of topics.

For seniors who are members of the Capital Senior Center or who are living in either a Columbia Housing Authority facility or at Still Hopes, we encourage you to talk with those seniors who are now participating in the initial year of the program. Most seniors have great stories to tell--take advantage of the opportunity to learn how to share those stories with others in our community.

We are currently seeking participants. Please click HERE to view the participant form. You can print it from the new window, or save the file.

What is BGTIME?

Senior citizens in our community have much to contribute to the civic dialogue. However, many seniors lack the skills and opportunities necessary to use all the tools available to them to tell their stories. The BGTIME program was developed to help bridge this divide between senior citizens and digital media. More
