The Cyber Safety Project is a youth-led project designed to educate and support young people and their parents/carers/guardians on the risks involved with internet use.

 Its goal is to raise awareness of the risks associated with online activities and hopefully lessen the harm experienced from a young person’s online usage. 

To do this, a team of young local volunteers have researched and provided links to several online resources for e-safety, which can be accessed below. They will also create a social media campaign (keep an eye on their Instagram page @youtheventswhitehorse), as well as running educational activities in primary schools, and developing a consistent referral process across several community organisations.

Cyber Safety Project is endorsed by the e-Safety Commissioner and partners with hundreds of schools across Australia to promote cyber safety through workshops and activities. Furthermore, they have organised a specialised curriculum from Foundation to Year 8, integrating cyber safety education into their daily schooling. They branch out further into the community, providing workshops and resources for parents and community members.
