Learn how to equip senior citizens with the skills they need to navigate the digital world safely and confidently.

As technology continues to shape our daily lives, many older adults face challenges in keeping up with digital tools and security measures. This gap leaves them vulnerable to online scams, identity theft, and isolation from essential resources. To address this, volunteer young lawyers, law students, and other legal professionals can provide critical education on data privacy, security, and basic digital literacy. In doing so, volunteers will not only gain valuable experience but also foster meaningful intergenerational connections that contribute to building a more inclusive and secure digital community.

Join us to:

  • Gain a solid understanding of digital literacy and online security principles for senior citizens.
  • Learn effective methods to educate and engage senior citizens in digital literacy and security.
  • Understand effective ways in which to reach out to local senior communities to schedule and give presentations.
