Program/Project
Description
|
I-SAFE is an Internet safety education site. Our entire focus is to equip kids and teens, through "edutainment," on cyber etiquette and what it means to employ "cyber streetsmarts." We work with the FBI Cyber Squad, and our classroom curriculum helps equip kids/teens to drive defensively online.
Our newest program is called "Cyber Watch." This will be the first time kids/teens will be able to report computer intrusion crimes online. We work with various government policing agencies on this project. In the event there is a verifiable arrest, I-SAFE will reward the child/teen with a designated sum of money to be deposited into a scholarship fund with a leading financial institution. This is our way of investing in the future of tomorrow.

Key Highlights/
Milestones
|
Over the past year we have partnered with many organizations and government agencies. Our most recent partner is Neighborhood Watch. We are now involving parents and the community in Internet safety for kids/teens. We are not a blocking software company, and we have positioned our program more toward "education" relative to using the Internet and being safe online. The one component missing, as noted by the Department of Justice, is education focused on the health, welfare, and safety of kids/teens as online users. This is what I-SAFE does at www.isafe.org.

Results Forecast
|
Currently we are targeting a $1-million endowment for the "Cyber Watch" program and have targeted several high-profile partners as distribution channels for I-SAFE.
