Program Information #ICANHELP\u2019s mission is to empower student changemakers seeking to make a positive digital impact and promote digital safety and change through powerfully-relevant curriculum.\r\n#ICANHELP is creating a generation that\u2019s not only tech-savvy but knows how to use Digital4Good. Our programs bridge the gap between knowing how to use social media and technology and learning how to use them positively to build strong school communities and become good digital citizens.\r\n\r\nWhat is #ICANHELP?\r\n\r\nNegative online behavior is linked to higher levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and suicide in kids and teens. Just because students understand the mechanics of social media and digital technology doesn\u2019t mean they know how to deal with issues like cyberbullying, harassment, privacy, and safety. #ICANHELP\u2019s mission is to empower students with the tools and training they need to protect themselves, develop their digital media toolkit, and use social media positively.\r\n\r\nStudent-led Empowerment\r\nOur Digital Citizenship Student Curriculum puts students in the driver\u2019s seat. It has over 50 peer-to-peer workshops, activities, and lesson plans on digital citizenship to help students build positive communities both on AND offline. It teaches them to connect offline behavior with online behavior and explore the impact their actions\u2060\u2014both positive and negative\u2060\u2014have on themselves and their peers. Students learn how to respond to negativity, report inappropriate behavior, and positive, safe ways to engage in social media.\r\n\r\nStudent-powered Community\r\nTo support kids\u2019 and teens\u2019 emotional and mental wellbeing outside of the classroom, #ICANHELP also has a social media community run by Student Interns. These student leaders design and run social campaigns to grow and amplify #ICANHELP\u2019s impact. From fun challenges and instructional videos to sharing how students are using social media to create positive change, their mission is to engage with as many kids as possible and create a world-wide youth community that uses #Digital4Good. \r\n\r\nLead interns are supported by a team of student volunteers who help create engaging, positive content for Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and more. Not only do students make an impact and help grow our online community, but they develop their writing, design, project management, and technical skills.\r\n
