Security starts with seniors like you!

Have you ever clicked an email that turned out to be a scam…

Only to find out it was a test—sent by your own employer or volunteer coordinator to see if you'd fall for it?

You're not alone.
And no, you're not "bad with technology."
You're not too old to learn.
You're not a liability—you’re a potential lifeline.

At Learn Online Security, we believe something different:

You are the first line of defense.
Wisdom comes with age.
With the right tools, you can safeguard yourself, your family, and your entire community from online threats.

— From Sarah Howells, Learn Online Security

Hello there,

I’m Sarah Howells, part of the Learn Online Security team—and today, I want to talk to you not just as individuals, but as pillars of your communities.

You’ve spent a lifetime looking out for others—your children, your grandchildren, your neighbors. And in today’s fast-moving digital world, your role is more important than ever.

We know the internet can be overwhelming, and sometimes even a little scary. Scams, misinformation, digital bullying, identity theft—it’s a lot. But here's the thing: when seniors are informed and empowered, the whole community benefits.

When seniors are informed and empowered, the whole community benefits.

That’s why we created the Senior Cyber Defense Workshop—a practical, judgment-free program designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools to protect yourself and help safeguard those around you.

Whether you’re attending in person or joining virtually from home, you’ll learn:

How to spot online scams before they reach your inbox or phone
How to protect your identity, bank info, and privacy
How to support your children and grandkids online—even if they “don’t want to listen”
How to become a trusted voice of reason in your circle, church, or neighborhood

We break it all down in simple language. No tech lingo. No fear. Just real-world examples, engaging instructors, and a whole lot of community spirit.

And here’s the beautiful part: when you show up—when you ask questions, share your wisdom, and take the lead—you inspire the next generation to do the same. You become the reason someone else feels safe enough to speak up or ask for help.

So whether you’re a grandma who wants to understand what your grandkids are doing online, a retired teacher who still loves helping others, or a senior looking to stay sharp and secure, we need you.

Come be part of something bigger. Let’s protect our homes, our families, and each other—together.

Join us at the next Senior Cyber Defense Workshop, in-person or online.
Fun, support, and a strong sense of purpose included.

With gratitude,
Sarah Howells

This Isn’t Just About You — It’s About Everyone You’re Trying to Help

But online scams?
They are sneaky. They are fast. They are sophisticated.

Scammers know you’re busy—helping family, volunteering, staying involved. They’re counting on you to miss the red flags.
