Protecting Kids in the Digital Era: How Smart Gen Society Is Guiding Students and Families
In this episode of The Good Life EDU Podcast, we’re joined by Suzie Fogarty and Theresa Hamer of Smart Gen Society (SGS), a Nebraska-based nonprofit working at the intersection of digital wellness, education, and youth empowerment. Together, Suzie and Theresa share the story behind SGS’s founding and its evolving mission to equip young people, families, and schools with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate today’s digital world safely and responsibly.
From uncovering online exploitation risks to advocating for stronger school-community partnerships, this conversation explores the unique approach SGS takes in engaging students, leading educators, and supporting parents. We also highlight how Smart Gen Society is making an impact beyond Nebraska and offers practical insights for anyone concerned about the well-being of digital-native youth.
