Project iGuardian™ is focused on keeping children and teens safe from online predators through education and awareness.

The project is an outreach effort to share information about the dangers of online environments, how to stay safe online, and how to report abuse and suspicious activity. In addition, the iGuardians™ team is here to help kids stay safe online by providing safety tips, a number to call, and a website with links to more information and resources. Project iGuardian helps kids, teens and parents be smarter about online safety and stay safe from online sexual predators.

Project iGuardian is the official in-person educational arm of the Know2Protect campaign.

Meet the iGuardians

A savvy duo of HSI special agents and their trusty canine sidekick join forces with a student and teacher to form our team of iGuardians. They spread Know2Protect’s call to action: educate the public on the dangers of online CSEA, help prevent future crimes, and empower the public to report suspected abuse.

Request a Presentation

The Project iGuardian team is available to inform your community of ways to protect children and teens from online predators. Our presentations are delivered by HSI special agents and other subject matter experts. These audience-specific presentations are given to schools, community groups, corporations, and nonprofit organizations that are looking to learn more and join the fight against online child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA).
