Our Story
The organization was founded in 1986 by Dr. Mary Furlong, with headquarters originally located in San Francisco, California. In 2005, headquarters were relocated to Santa Clara, California. SeniorNet grew out of a research project funded by the Markle Foundation to determine how computers and telecommunications could enhance the lives of older adults.
Over the next several years, SeniorNet earned respect in the community and gained new sponsors, which led to the opening of more Learning Centers. Around this time, the organization started to receive national press attention, which caused a flood of interest from seniors from across the country.
Since then, SeniorNet has helped thousands of seniors in classrooms and learning centers around the world. With the new SeniorNet, access will be virtual so seniors from around the world can get the same great access to learning, forums and a voice in technology.
