Bringing Voices Together: Social Driver and the National Digital Roundtable

How Social Driver’s partnership with the National Digital Roundtable sparks meaningful conversations about technology, safety, and youth wellbeing.

Impact

At Social Driver, we believe that collaboration drives progress. That’s why we helped launch National Digital Roundtable—a platform that unites leaders from business, government, nonprofits, media, and technology to address the most pressing issues in our digital world.

Since its founding, National Digital Roundtable has hosted high-impact conversations on digital influence, platform accountability, online safety, and innovation. Each event connects diverse voices, shares research, and explores solutions that benefit communities nationwide.

Our latest roundtable, co-hosted with Pinterest and the Youth Mental Health Corps, explored youth mental health in the digital age at Gallup’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. Researchers, advocates, platform leaders, and youth voices gathered to discuss how technology can support—rather than harm—young people.

Discussions focused on:

  • Platform design and its role in promoting positive engagement
  • The importance of offline support systems like the Youth Mental Health Corps
  • How LGBTQ+ youth rely on digital spaces for safety and identity
  • Concerns over unregulated AI and the need for developmentally aware tools
  • Ensuring youth voices are central to digital policy and design

These conversations underscore the importance of cross-sector collaboration to create safer, more inclusive digital spaces for young people.
