Connected Tennessee's BTOP Program Trains Youth in Memphis

Connected Tennessee recently participated in two training events at Boys & Girls Clubs in Memphis. The first event was held at the Sycamore View Club and had close to 100 children present! The second event was held at the Ira Samelson branch and was attended by around 40 children. Connected Tennessee partner Mark Reavis from the University of Memphis and other U of M staff members provided a presentation on Internet safety, educating the youth about safe and educational websites, staying safe while using e-mail and other social media platforms such as Facebook, and how to identify cyber bullying. Connected Tennessee’s Deanna Ward was in attendance at both events.

“The University of Memphis staff was great and the kids and club staff were very appreciative of the helpful information provided,” Deanna said. “Overall, the events were a huge success!”
