"The organization's mission to advocate for and implement measures to protect children from various forms of exploitation and harm resonated deeply with my values. I spend a lot of time on social media as a teenager. So, it was also necessary for me to become more knowledgeable about online risks and what to watch out for.

Dania, U.S. Youth Life Team

“In our bi-weekly meeting, myself and the other two members of the U.S. Youth Life team meet with members of the Protect Us Kids Sierra Leone team. These meetings opened my eyes to the major social, political, and economic differences of the U.S. compared to countries that are subject to a digital divide.

"One of the things I learned from Protect Us Kids are the steps you need to take in order to be safe online, and that not everything should be shared for the public to see. I was taught that not everything you do needs to be. part of your online image."

Donald, Sierra Leone Youth Life Team

"My main purpose of joining this group is to stop cyberbullying amongst children and to help spread the word about this group so we can impact more lives globally."

Abigail, Sierra Leone Youth Life Team

"My main purpose of joining this organization is to work hand in hand with the organization to stop social media bullying for children and youth across the world."

Joshua, Sierra Leone Youth Life Team

"Protect Us Kids has a variety of  cohorts across the country, so I have been able to learn so much about the internet outside the scope of the United States. This has allowed me to become way more informative and aware of issues taking place outside my country.
