It is the only Internet safety foundation to combine these elements. i-SAFE America, Inc. is funded by the U.S. Congress through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Office of Justice Programs, and Department of Justice.

The Kids & Teens area of the website is called X-BLOCK and includes a chatroom, i-Mentoring, i-DRiVE TV, the 411, Virtual Training Academy, Training Network, and contests. i-Mentors are students in grades five through 12 who promote online safety and "DRiVE the 411" back to friends, family, and community.
