Digital Defenders
Our Programs
Teens Learning. Seniors Empowered. Safe use of technology.
Digital Defenders equips teens with practical digital safety skills so they can help seniors navigate technology with greater confidence and security.
About the Program
Digital Defenders is a youth-led digital safety program that prepares teens to become trusted technology helpers for older adults. Teens learn how to recognize scams, protect personal information, identify suspicious messages and links, use stronger security practices, and navigate common digital challenges. After completing their training, Digital Defenders use what they’ve learned to assist seniors with technology and share practical strategies for staying safer online.
