Making Social Media Safer for Washington Youth

Digital Safety WA is a student-led initiative dedicated to promoting healthier digital experiences through research, education, and advocacy. We believe social media should empower young people—not exploit their attention.


OUR MISSION

Digital Safety WA is a student-led initiative that educates communities about how social media affects children and teens. Through research, public awareness, and civic engagement, we encourage thoughtful discussions about policies that promote healthier online experiences for young people.
