Students participating in the me program at their school receive an invite to participate in an online community hosted and monitored by the program moderator teaching their lessons in school. It is a safe space that allows them self-expression, a private place to record their feelings, encouragement games & activities that help them to explore and find creative outlets and develop healthy coping skills, resources from their lessons learned in the program, tutoring help and more. (see me Empowered part 1).

The "Creative me" section teaches students alternative coping skills by introducing creative outlets through games and activities. A badge is earned by trying activity or game, and there are at least 5 levels per activity. Examples of activities include inventing, room designs, space, comic artists, music and more.

Children can choose like buttons and add them to their "mePage." When they click on the button, it takes them to a page where they can socialize with other children participating in the "me program" at their school who share the same interests.
