Students in the program will have the chance to weigh in on one of the defining aspects of teen’s lives -- social media. Teens are constantly inventing amazing new ways to build communities or express themselves online. They can also be subjected to toxic and inaccurate content.
So, what should be done? Parents, educators, and policy makers all seem to have ideas about how social media impacts young people and whether access to social media should be limited. But, in this workshop, we want to hear from the real expert: YOU!
