Each year, millions of American adults fall victim to cybercrime. In fact, the AARP estimates last year over $60 billion was lost just from senior citizens. And with the rise of artificial intelligence, it’s only getting worse.
So that’s exactly where CyberAware comes in. We are a nationwide organization that works to educate, inform, and empower individuals to identify and avoid digital scams. A huge part of CyberAware is all of the incredible high school-aged volunteers giving presentations and workshops in their local communities. I like to think of everyone involved with CyberAware as a co-founder. And from our communication to the way we train our volunteers, it’s taught me so much about growing an organization on a national scale. CyberAware is absolutely my passion. I just love helping each person and being able see them become more confident in an ever-changing digital world.
