Thank You, NCOA: Advancing Digital Safety and Confidence for Older Adults—At digitalLIFT, we believe that everyone deserves the knowledge and confidence to navigate today's digital world safely. Thanks to the generous support of the National Council on Aging (NCOA) (connect.ncoa.org/), we were able to help older adults build essential cybersecurity skills and receive personalized technology support that empowers them to stay connected.Through this grant, our team successfully delivered four Cybersecurity Basics workshops, reaching 56 older adult learners in the Bay Area. The workshops combined the high-quality AT&T Digital Literacy Resources (connect.ncoa.org/ATTDigitalLiteracySeniorCenters) with digitalLIFT's own Internet Safety curriculum (digitallift.org/teach-online-safety/), giving participants practical strategies to recognize scams, create strong passwords, protect personal information, and safely use technology in their daily lives.Read full article: digitallift.org/thank-you-ncoa-advancing-digital-safety-and-confidence-for-older-adults/#NCOA #AT&TDigitalLiteracySeniorCenters #DigitalSafety #digitalLIFT ...

Board Member Spotlight: Keri Vogtmann—At digitalLIFT, our board members bring a wealth of experience and a shared belief that technology should create opportunities, not barriers. This month, we’re excited to introduce Keri Vogtmann, Chair of digitalLIFT's Development Committee, whose career has focused on making technology more accessible, intuitive, and meaningful for everyone.“The most innovative technology has little impact if the people it’s designed to serve can’t, or won’t, use it confidently,” she explains.Thank You, Keri!—digitalLIFT is grateful for Keri’s leadership, expertise, and passion for creating a more digitally inclusive future. Her perspective reminds us that technology is at its best when it empowers people, builds confidence, and ensures everyone has the opportunity to participate fully in our increasingly digital world.Read full article: https://digitallift.org/board-member-spotlight-keri-vogtmann/#DigitalInclusion #Leadership #digitalLIFT ...
