YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities Hosts Google's Be Internet Awesome Workshops to Teach Parents How to Keep Their Kids Safe Online on Safer Internet Day February 11

Minneapolis, MN – In celebration of Safer Internet Day on February 11, the YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities, a leading nonprofit dedicated to strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, will host 20 Google Be Internet Awesome workshops to teach parents how to instill healthy and responsible Internet habits in their children.

These February 11 events are in response to mounting requests from parents wanting help with establishing safe and healthy Internet and social media practices as online and technology use among children continue to rise.

The workshops will feature discussion-based, parent-to-parent conversations about how to help children be safe, smart and positive online. Families will learn to teach their children how to communicate responsibly, understand real from fake in the face of phishing and scams, build strong passwords, be positive and kind online, and discuss questionable content as a family. Parents will receive free bilingual resources, answers to questions about online safety and digital citizenship, and tools and information to help facilitate discussions at home.
