PBteen Extraordinary Teen – Victoria Coaxum

In the spirit of summer travel, this week we are featuring another one of our amazing Extraordinary Teens, 18 year old Victoria who studies abroad!

Victoria is changing the way young people interact online. In the summer of 2012, she cofounded Think Before You Type, Inc. (TBYT), an anti-cyberbullying and positive self-esteem nonprofit with her sister Lauren. Even while she spends her senior year studying abroad in Indonesia (thanks to a scholarship through the YES Abroad program), Tori keeps using social media and her positive voice to encourage teens to use the internet for good and to raise awareness about cyberbullying.

Make a difference and stop cyber bullying in your community by joining Victoria and her cause to make a change!
