About Us
See something, say something.
We are #ICANHELP
After an incident on social media targeted a school teacher and spread like wildfire, #ICANHELP was dreamed into fruition to ensure nothing like that would happen again. We actively develop online safety, digital wellness, digital citizenship and positivity programs to train students how to be Digital First Responders.
Since 2013, we have trained thousands of students while being headstrong with our mission to empower students and educators around the globe to use Digital4Good. Students are the first line of defense against cyberbullying attacks, which is why our organization is full of student interns and volunteers.
Why #ICANHELP?
We are agents of change committed to creating awareness of digital safety and the digital wellness of students and educators.
Our daily work is focused on youth digital empowerment, and to prevent cyberbullying or other types of online abuse, through education and the promotion of student leadership.
#ICANHELP is powered by three things:
-
Student Leadership
- Interns
- Volunteers
- Mentors
-
Digital Citizenship Education
- Curriculums
- Courses
- Training
-
Community Engagement
- Social Media
- Events
- Webinars
Each arm supports the other, working together to help us grow and deepen our impact.
