So proud of our YFI @TrishPrabhu for leading the way to a safer, better internet. 😍
It was an honor to participate in the Foro Futuro Digital Responsable in Bogota alongside Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the Vice President of Colombia, and @mariaressa! As we discussed, with youth voices leading the way, we can build a better internet.

It's true that social connection is essential to our survival. As @TheYoungFutures' @katyahancock noted during our #SXSW2024 panel, being socially connected increases a person's odds of survival by 50%.

ALT Katya Hancock of Young Futures speaking on our #SXSW2024 panel: "Social connection is as essential to our survival as food or water. While kids are very connected, they're not always having meaningful social connection: 50% of teens feel like they don't belong at school."
Thank you @pivotalventures! We are grateful for your support every step of the way! #YoungFutures

Couldn't agree more. This session was one of the highlights of #SXSW for me. Each of the panelists were incredible. #listentoyoungpeople #YoungFutures – at Austin, TX
We’re so inspired by the youth leaders we heard from on Fri at #sxsw. Follow and support these #responsibletech movement powerhouses @DesignItForUs @logoffmovement @rethinkwords @encodejustice @accountabletech #youngfutures
Yes! Thank you for your support @AustinChronicle. We are so heartened by the responses to our message of hope @TheYoungFutures . We truly believe teens can have the agency to thrive in the digital world with the right tools and support from the adults in their lives.
“We need to move away from talking about parental controls, no kid wants to be controlled. We need to talk about parental engagement tools.” @mediatrician @BostonChildrens at #sxsw. We are so aligned on this! Empowering parent/child partnerships that support youth agency.
