Take Control of Your Digital Life: Join AARP's 5-Day Challenge
In an age where digital presence is paramount, AARP's Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) has introduced a transformative initiative aimed at empowering seniors. The 2025 Digital House Cleaning Challenge invites older adults to declutter and secure their digital lives within just five days. This program responds to alarming statistics showing that 64% of adults aged 50 and above have not saved important documents digitally and that more than 60% feel unsure about how to do so.
Why This Challenge Matters
Today's technology landscape can be overwhelming, especially for seniors. As Tom Kamber, the Executive Director of OATS, emphasizes, "Cleaning up isn’t just for closets; our digital lives need attention too." The challenge is designed not only to enhance personal security but also to establish a more organized and manageable online presence for participants.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Digital Organization
Participants will benefit from straightforward daily tasks that guide them through crucial topics:
Day 1: Assess & Update Privacy Settings on Your Phone
Day 2: Set Up Password Managers to Secure Accounts
Day 3: Optimize Social Media Settings for Better Privacy
Day 4: Digitize Important Documents for Easy Access
Day 5: Establish a Secure Digital Vault for Key Files
This structured approach allows participants to tackle challenges incrementally, making progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Those who sign up will receive daily emails filled with resources, tutorials, and how-to guides tailored to facilitate these tasks, ensuring that no one is left stranded. This initiative is about fostering a supportive community where seniors can learn from one another while gaining confidence in their digital skills.
