Community Outreach initiative extends Internet safety awareness beyond the classroom by bringing students, parents, school and community leaders, and others together to spread this knowledge throughout the entire community. Students can take the lead as i-Mentors and educate their peers about online dangers. Our youth empowerment campaign mobilizes students to get involved and take action. i-SAFE trains students and equips them with the tools to teach others how to protect themselves online. Parents can be the key to safe and rewarding online experiences for the whole family. i-SAFE helps educate parents about hazards in cyberspace, and gives them opportunities to spread this valuable information within their communities. Schools can build on the education program by taking Internet safety beyond the classroom. i-SAFE works with teachers, advisors, administrators, and counselors to inform parents and community members about the importance of Internet safety for all cyber citizens. Business, civic, community, and elected leaders all share a common duty to promote the well-being of our children. i-SAFE seeks to work with these leaders by lending resources and volunteering time. i-SAFE believes that it takes a strong commitment from all areas of the community for a true culture change to occur. By planning Internet safety activities, events, and trainings, you can be the spark that leads to an entire community of safe and responsible cyber citizens.
