GOLD's mission is to bridge the digital divide for older adults by providing free digital literacy education that empowers them to navigate technology safely and confidently. The core focus areas include healthcare technology access (like MyChart navigation), scam prevention, AI literacy, and smartphone basics — all delivered through community-based classes across North Carolina and virtual programming reaching participants nationwide.
The driving idea is that digital exclusion isn't just an inconvenience for seniors — it's a barrier to healthcare access, financial safety, and social connection. GOLD exists to remove that barrier.
