NetSmartz® is an interactive, educational safety resource from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® and Boys & Girls Clubs of America for children (ages 5-17), parents, guardians, educators, and law enforcement that uses age-appropriate, 3-D activities to teach children how to stay safer on the Internet. The NetSmartz Workshop can be accessed at www.NetSmartz.org and www.NetSmartzKids.org. Parents are encouraged to view this site for your own education but also tour the student sections to see information we are reviewing as potential cyber-curriculum to be presented to the children during computer lab time. All access is free with sites that are relevant to students of all ages in a fun, entertaining, and highly enriching/educational format. The NetSmartz Workshop was made possible via a public-private partnership with the United States Congress, United States Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Sponsorship from private corporations enables the NetSmartz Workshop and its innovative content to be shared with children, parents, guardians, educators, and law enforcement globally via the Internet at www.NetSmartz.org.
