Stay Safe Online.
A Workshop for Seniors.
The internet doesn't have to be scary. Learn simple ways to protect yourself from scams, phishing, and online tricks — taught in plain language by people who care about your community.
Scammers Target Seniors. We Help You Fight Back.
Over $3.4 billion was stolen from Americans 60+ last year through online scams. That's not a typo. The good news? Most scams follow predictable patterns — and once you know what to look for, you're much harder to fool.
