ADL | Behind the Screen: Youth Radicalization, Online Risks, and Solutions

Description: Youth increasingly encounter extremist ideologies in the digital spaces where they learn, socialize, and grow. As platforms evolve, so do the tactics used to find, recruit, and isolate young people. This timely, data-driven webinar opens with a researcher from ADL’s Center on Extremism analyzing the online footprints of two recent school shooters to frame the broader landscape—how extremist narratives take root, how mainstream and niche platforms are exploited, and what these trends mean for families, schools, and communities.

Participate in this webinar to gain practical tools, insight, and confidence to respond effectively and prevent radicalization in the online environments where young people spend their time.
A dynamic panel will translate research into practice, sharing real-world strategies to identify early warning signs and to build safe, honest conversations with youth at home and in classrooms. You’ll leave with clear approaches for recognizing risk, engaging youth with empathy, and taking action in schools and communities, along with curated resources and actionable next steps.
