This National Senior Citizens Day, we're celebrating both sides of the digital experience. With the right support, technology can reduce isolation, increase independence, and improve quality of life. At the same time, older adults deserve the knowledge and confidence to recognize scams, protect their personal information, and navigate the online world safely.

Organizations serving older adults need practical tools that meet learners where they are.
digitalLIFT's Aging Services Package and Specialized: Aging curriculum provide age-friendly training strategies designed around the needs of older learners.

A laptop. A skill. A job. An apartment.
That’s the chain one client at completed — and it started with a device and a Digital Navigator who showed him how to use it.

This month’s MHM Partnership Spotlight is about what our housing and workforce partners taught us: digital access isn’t a bonus program. It's infrastructure. When one piece is missing — no device, no connection, no skills — everything downstream gets blocked.

When Andrew Rogge joined digitalLIFT in 2023, he was driven by curiosity. He had always assumed that younger generations naturally knew how to navigate technology. But as he began meeting learners from different backgrounds, he quickly realized that digital literacy gaps exist across all ages.

At digitalLIFT’s Tech Labs, learners come seeking help with what others might consider simple tasks: deleting emails, managing smartphone settings, recognizing scams, or navigating online accounts. For Andrew, these moments are opportunities to empower people rather than simply fix a problem.

“I always try not to do things for people,” he explains, “rather point to what they need to click or tap so they can learn and remember.”

A Practical Guide to Supporting Learners at Every Stage—At digitalLIFT, we’ve spent years designing digital skills training that helps people access opportunity—jobs, education, and essential services. But over time, we started noticing a pattern that challenged one of our core assumptions.

Not every learner benefits from digital skills training in the same way. And more importantly—not every learner is ready for it.

So our team started asking a harder question . . .

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) (https://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 (https://connect.ncoa.org/ATTDigitalLiteracySeniorCenters) with digitalLIFT's own Internet Safety curriculum (https://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.

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.

International Friendship Day—Friend or Fraud? Building Safe Relationships in a Digital World. Technology has made finding new and old friends easier than ever. It has connected grandparents with grandchildren, military families across continents, neighbors with shared interests, gamers all across the world, and people searching for support, information, and community in moments when they need it most.

But on International Friendship Day, there’s another side of the story we can't ignore.
• Not every profile represents a real person.
• Not every friend request comes from someone looking for genuine connection.

At digitalLIFT, we believe that the greatest act of digital kindness is learning how to protect ourselves—and each other, and digital confidence includes knowing how to build healthy, safe relationships online.
