Last month, a group of Clinton High School students were paired up with local seniors to help them learn the basics about the smartphones they have.

Connie Unruh with TRIAD of DeWitt County says it was a great experience for not only the seniors but also the high school students.

Unruh indicates most teenagers are familiar with Apple phones so they had to learn on the run about Androids and Unruh praised their willingness to do that for the seniors with Androids.

It might seem hard to believe but young people are actually more susceptible to scams on their phones than seniors and Unruh points out it is one of the reasons the high school kids came away from the program having learned something.

Unruh is very active with the youth in Clinton. She is in the schools teaching financial literacy and works with students at The Vault teaching business lessons to junior high students.
