CommunitiesWiredKidz.org Here, in a password-protected, secure site, children aged 7-12 years can participate in clubs such as the Safe Surfing Club where they learn to protect their privacy while they are online. In order to join any of WiredKids programs, kids must have their parent submit a letter from the child's school and their own consent. The children work in squads and are taught about volunteerism and community involvement. There are also a large variety of active squads like the Editorial Squad where the kids write a newsletter on various topics that teach safety while having fun. There are contests to enter, and the kids even have a place to chat with their peers in a non-threatening environment. Our WiredPatrol trained volunteers moderate those chats and discussion boards to keep our children as safe as possible. We even offer classes on website design, privacy, writing, reporting, software and game design and helping others. The classes that they take here have been especially written for this age group. Follow this link to learn more about this group, or to join >> WiredTeens.org Like our WiredKidz.org, teens can learn, help teach their families and peers, and chat with each other in a secure environment. Teens can choose to participate in a wide variety of activities such as chats that feature experts speaking on teen related topics, celebrity chats, and also trivia games. Teens who enjoy writing can join the Newsletter Staff and write articles on various topics for their peers. For those who love building web pages, we will feature different Internet safety-related websites built by the teens on our wiredteens.org site. This site is designed by teens for other teens.
