About NetSmartz:

Our Mission: NetSmartz Workshop is an interactive, educational program of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® (NCMEC) that provides age-appropriate resources to help teach children how to be safer on- and offline. The program is designed for children ages 5-17, parents and guardians, educators, and law enforcement. With resources such as videos, games, activity cards, and presentations, NetSmartz entertains while it educates.

Our Goals: Educate children on how to recognize potential Internet risks

Engage children and adults in a two-way conversation about on- and offline risks

Empower children to help prevent themselves from being exploited and to report victimization to a trusted adult

NetSmartz provides Presentations, Lesson Plans, Videos, and Tip Sheets for download to all Educators and Teachers! Note: You have to create an account to download the resources.

"NetSmartz offers free, multimedia Internet safety presentations tailored for specific audiences — parents and communities, tweens, teens, and younger children. Our innovative presentations utilize the latest statistics, online resources, videos, and expert tips to educate, engage, and empower children and adults to be safer on- and offline."
