TeenangelsTeenAngels are very special. They are an offline group, trained as a team, in their home city in many countries of the world. They have been featured in Teen People and by Associated Press around the world. They are overseen by offline leaders, and trained by third parties such as law enforcement groups, legal specialists and webmasters and experts, offline. They are formed in chapters of at least fifteen teens. Both the parents and the school have to give their consent for the teen to become TeenAngel. TeenAngels in training have to commit to a six week training program and finish that program to be called a TeenAngel. And their work is just starting at that point. TeenAngels offline work is interesting and varied. They handle media interviews and, after being trained, can reach out to their communities and teach their neighbors, friends and families to enjoy the Internet safely. TeenAngels differ from our online WiredTeens and WiredKids groups in several ways. WiredTeens and WiredKids are online volunteers. WiredSafety volunteers working within the WiredKids organization train them online. They work, participate and train online, and they can join individually from wherever they reside. TeenAngels work largely offline, training extensively in a formalized program offline. They can only join an existing TeenAngels chapter or form a new one with offline leaders and a sponsoring school. TeenAngels make a substantial commitment to the program, while WiredTeens and WiredKids can enjoy their membership without having to be responsible for setting up programs. By following this link you will be taken to their site, where you can get a glimpse of what the TeenAngels groups have done in the past, what they are currently doing, and what their future holds. |
