Digital Citizen Academy Announces Matching Grants to First 250 Schools

For the 2018/2019 school year Digital Citizen Academy is offering special pricing and matching sponsorships to the first schools that register for DCA prevention and education programs. Schools must be new to the program and must register by Friday, June 15 to be eligible for funding.

The K-12 program will offer qualifying schools pricing at two dollars per student, with the balance being covered by sponsorship funds. The program is limited to the first 250 schools that register and it will provide prevention and education programs to students and staff as well as offer parent resources for the coming school year.

Digital Citizen Academy provides grade specific lessons for kindergarten through 12th grade students, parents and educators, that appropriately and effectively communicate and teach safe practices for digital citizenship, digital reputations and provide tools and lessons on cyberbullying, sexting and digital cheating.

“We want to make our programs accessible and affordable to reach as many students as possible,” explains Dr. Lisa Strohman, founder and director of Digital Citizen Academy. “We are seeing the physical and emotional impact from the increasing time kids are spending on technology and its alarming.”

Dr. Strohman created this interactive platform for schools and organizations to deliver research-based education, prevention and diversion programs that are professionally designed to combat, protect and support children, teenagers, and adults impacted by issues resulting from technology use, misuse and overuse. A diversion program is also available as a disciplinary resource for students that violate school policies.
