Who We Are
Our mission is to protect youth from being victimized by predators who
leverage cyberspace as an international exploitation tactic. We accomplish
this by serving as the bridge between the communities that we serve and
those organizations that can take action.
Youth Engagement
Enable youth the confidence to express themselves freely on the Internet and engage in Web-based activities without compromising their safety or personal integrity.
School Outreach
Work with academic institutions to develop training resources on Internet safety that can be easily integrated into the current curriculum at no cost.
Education
Educate parents/guardians about the importance of knowing their children’s activities while online and make them aware of threats that exist on the Internet.
Partnerships
We interact with trusted partners to secure necessary resources so that Internet safety can be taught in rural and marginalized areas.
Board of Directors
Every member of our board of directors is a distinguished thought leader, whose substantial contributions to our society are invaluable, bringing a distinct set of skills and expertise to enrich our organization.
