Participants

BGTIME has two categories of participants--college students and senior citizens. The student mentors are from the University of Souh Carolina and Benedict College. The senior citizens either live at Still Hopes Retirement Community, Oak Reed Senior Apartments (or nearby residential facility) or are members at the Capital Senior Center.

The BGTIME program was developed to help bridge this divide between senior citizens and digital media. More
