Embrace Civility

Embrace Civility in the Digital Age promotes approaches to address youth well-being and risk in the digital age in a manner that promotes positive norms, increases effective skills and resiliency, and encourages young people to be helpful allies who positively intervene when they witness peers being hurt or at risk. (If you are looking for the Center for Safe and Responsible Internet Use, you found me – this is my new name.)
