August also brings us International Youth Day August 12. This year it is focusing on Green Skills for Youth.

The workshop for August is Safeguarding Kids Identity and Online Privacy: Seven steps to protecting your child from identity theft. Today’s youth generation is tech-savvy and connected online. However, parents still play an important role in helping them avoid online hazards such as identity theft, privacy, and cyber-bullying. This workshop covers important issues including online privacy tips, managing computer settings, smartphone apps, and positive online behavior.
