Opt-Inspire Pro Bono Project

The Privacy and Data Security Section Opt-Inspire Initiative is a pro bono project dedicated to educating senior citizens on crucial topics such as privacy, cybersecurity, and navigating the digital landscape.  Senior citizens are especially vulnerable to scams, both online and otherwise, due to often having limited digital literacy. These engaging and interactive sessions will cover practical tips to protect personal information, recognize and avoid online scams, and understand the evolving environment of artificial intelligence (AI). We aim to protect our seniors in NC and provide them with basic knowledge so they can be more independent in navigating digital environments. This presentation will empower NC seniors with the knowledge to safely and confidently use digital tools in today’s interconnected world.

Attorneys are invited to volunteer to present to groups through the program. Training is provided prior to the service. Volunteers are covered under NCBF malpractice insurance.
