About 30 students in Susan Theisen’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) program are giving senior citizens from the Mauldin Senior Center lessons in basic computer skills as their service project.

The program has been so well received that the students are offering a second session on Tuesday, February 9 at 4:00 pm at Mauldin High School.

 “It has been extremely well received by both the seniors and the students,” said Theisen. “The students felt genuinely rewarded and the seniors learned valuable tasks. As the seniors came in we asked them what they were interested in and paired them with a student who was proficient in that task.”

Kay Hunt, director of the Mauldin Senior Center, said the program was so successful that they have a waiting list for the class.
