It’s time to protect kids online

Now more than ever, youth need adults like us to provide guard rails online and help them navigate the pressures and challenges online.

  • Screen time for preteens and teens increased 17% from 2019 to 2021 (8-12 year olds are on screens 5.5 hours and 13-18 are on screens 8.5 hours)

  • Games and social media apps are designed to manipulate kids’ behavior and usage

  • The American Academy of Pediatrics has declared a national emergency due to declining mental health of young people

So glad you’re here to learn about cyber safety!

(Don’t worry - we’re not going to tell you to get rid of all the technology!)

 
 

Our mission: To protect kids from the harms found online.

We work with parent groups, school leaders & young people, high-tech think tanks and community programs to help keep kids—and you—safer online.
