Growing up online doesn’t come with a manual. Youth today are finding their paths through a digital wilderness filled with possibility as well as persistent risks: information overload, dangerous suggestion models, bullying, radicalization, AI chatbots that encourage self-harm, and more. The product, policy, and cultural choices we make now will shape the lives of generations to come.
Aspen Digital’s Youth & Tech Initiative centers youth experiences and parent perspectives, amplifies community-rooted insights, and strengthens cross-sector collaboration to build a safer, freer, and future-ready digital world.
Our mission is to bridge information gaps, create opportunities for research-to-action, and connect the vast networks of advocates, researchers, and decision-makers across industries and issue areas.
