i-SAFE extends
education beyond the classroom with
Community Outreach. These trainings have
programs for students, educators, parents, law
enforcement, and community leaders. The best way for
a student to take a concept and make it their own is
with the support of their community. The Youth
Empowerment team helps Student Mentors take the
message of Internet safety to their peers, their
family, and their community. The i-PARENT program
helps parents team up to bridge the "Digital Divide"
that separates them and their kids. The i-SHIELD
program brings together all divisions of law
enforcement for one cause - cyber safety. i-SAFE is
the only Internet safety program anywhere that
incorporates outreach elements in its education
materials and process |
