MediaSmarts has been developing digital and media literacy programs and resources for Canadian homes, schools and communities since 1996.

University students in undergraduate and graduate programs with an interest in digital and media literacy and college students studying graphic design or multimedia production are encouraged to contact us to discuss internships, field placements and volunteer opportunities.
