Attention to groups at risk of social exclusion concerning digital literacy must play a greater role in educational and social research. The objective of the study is to analyze the presence and dissemination in the social networks of the leisure activities of a collective of potentially vulnerable youth, relating it to sex and the geographic areas of residence. The sample was made up of 140 Spanish students of Basic Vocational Training. A questionnaire structured in different thematic blocks was applied, from which we selected 3 items that explored the topic under study. Descriptive and inferential analyses were carried out. The results show that 62.8% disseminate their leisure activities on the social networks, with physical activities being the experiences most frequently shared by this group. The boys publish more festive activities. The northerners and the residents of the center of Spain communicate more physical activities in social networks, and the easterners share more cultural experiences. The findings of this study have provided keys to optimize the digital leisure education of students of Basic Vocational Training in the critical and constructive use of social networks, which would contribute to the digital literacy of this collective and, therefore, would help minimize the likelihood of their belonging to risky scenarios.
