Digital Navigators
Lead Digital Literacy in Your Community
Technology is changing how young people learn, connect, communicate, and participate in the world around them. Families need trusted guidance to navigate everything from screen time and social media to online safety, digital citizenship, and artificial intelligence.
Digital Navigators are educators, librarians, school leaders, instructional coaches, family engagement specialists, and community leaders who want to help families use technology safely, responsibly, and confidently.
You do not need to be a technology expert. Digital Navigators connect families with trusted information, practical learning experiences, and resources they can use in everyday life.

Build
healthy technology habits around screen time, social media, and device use
Strengthen
communication between young people and the adults who support them
Develop
critical thinking and digital citizenship skillsย for responsible participation online
Understand
emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, and how they affect everyday life
Turn
information into actionย by connecting families with trusted tools, resources, and strategies they can use at home
Digital Navigators do not need to be technology experts. They serve asย trusted guides and connectors, helping families learn, ask questions, and navigate technology together.
Digital literacy isnโt just about using technologyโitโs about thinking critically, communicating clearly, and engaging responsibly in a connected world.
