WHOA Kids/Teen Division is the offshoot of WHOA, a volunteer organization founded in 1997, to fight online bullying, harassment and stalking of Kids and Teens. We do this through the education of parents, teachers, the general public, law enforcement, and others, as well as letting victims know they are not alone. We've formulated voluntary policies which we encourage schools and online communities to adopt in order to create a safe and welcoming environment for all.

Our volunteers are specially trained to work with kids and teens currently experiencing online bullying, harassment or stalking, and to help others learn how to avoid such harassment or minimize its impact if it does occur. Our president, Jayne Hitchcock, regularly speaks at schools throughout the country educating students and teachers alike, as well as speaking at various conferences and seminars, training law enforcement personnel and other interested parties how to track down cybercriminals and work with victims. She also lobbies for better federal and state laws to deter cybercriminals and give victims more options to end the harassment. Jayne and some of our other volunteers are also available for press interviews.
