Virtual Guardians Foundation

The foundation is an online beacon for young people in distress and aims to promote the responsible use of digital. We works to build a healthy and safe digital environment for all. We live in an era where everything is going digital. Whether it's to make an appointment, to pay your bills or to keep up with the news. More and more services, which used to be done in person, are now done online. With the explosion of social media and online gaming, distance is no longer a factor that determines who we meet on a daily basis. It’s becoming increasingly frequent for teenagers to have in their inner circle more people they’ve never met face to face than people from their neighbourhood. All these social changes also come with their share of new problems such as cyberaddiction, video game addiction, sexting and cyberbullying, to name a few. There is still a lot of work to be done in order to find effective solutions. Additionally, we face new realities such as the rejection of TV, the rejection of phone calls and the use of new mediums of communication. Establishments and organizations are having difficulty adapting and reaching new generations. In order to face this digital age, our society needs an entity specialized in the field, which is able to face the problems precisely where they are: online. This entity is the Virtual Guardians Foundation (VGF).
