Web Walkers (Les Promeneurs du Net) are youth workers who work for the YMCAs of Québec who lead online activities and connect with young people where they are, online. They help create a safe virtual space for teens assist them in honing their critical thinking skills with respect to online information and images.
In addition to being reliable adults for these teens, these qualified youth workers can spot troubling situations, guide young people in difficulty and educate them on a variety of subjects.
