Paige Spiranac at the American Century Championship speaking to kids about cyberbullying

The Cybersmile Foundation believe that everybody should have the right to access and enjoy the benefits that our new connected digital world offers – without the fear of bullying, threats and abuse. The organization believes that

Cybersmile believes that our current online environment lacks the balance and social rules of engagement that have been cultivated over generations, governing the behavior and relationships in the communities where we live, play and work – the physical world. The Cybersmile Foundation work to help people realize their true potential by supporting those that are bullied and abused online, changing the behavior of the bullies themselves and through education – preparing this and further generations for a safe and positive digital future.
