The Federal Trade Commission announced on Apr. 15 that it will host a webinar aimed at helping military children safely navigate the online world. The event is designed for parents, teachers, and leaders of after school or summer programs who work with military kids.
The webinar addresses the importance of supporting military children as they face unique challenges in digital spaces. Organizers say trusted adults play a key role in guiding young people through issues like privacy, digital citizenship, advertising awareness, and scam prevention.
Participants will learn about free educational resources tailored to teach military kids about staying safe online. These materials include articles, videos, and print content intended for both children and their families.
The session is scheduled to take place at 2 p.m. Eastern Time (1 p.m. Central Time/11 a.m. Pacific Time) via Zoom. Access details have been provided by the commission for those interested in joining remotely by computer or phone.
As concerns over children's internet safety continue to grow—especially among communities facing frequent relocations—the event highlights ongoing efforts to provide accessible tools and information.
