Introducing Digital Parenthood Home Base: A free program that
equips parents with the tools they need to raise safe and confident connected kids.

To participate, each school must have an Online Safety Officer (OSO) — a PTA member, teacher, or other school representative.
The OSO will join three specially-designed virtual “train the trainer” sessions. The first one kicks off in the fall.
Your OSO will also receive tools and materials to support the trainings they host for parents.
