25 YEARS OF LEADING THE WAY IN PREVENTION
Preventing Child Sexual Abuse Through Education & Action
Darkness to Light empowers adults to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse through awareness, education, and the reduction of stigma. We believe protecting children is an adult’s responsibility, and that education and training are key to empowering action. Our evidence-informed Stewards of Children® training—one of the only adult-focused child sexual abuse prevention programs in the United States—has been proven to increase knowledge and change behavior. By equipping individuals and organizations, we help communities take proactive steps toward creating safer environments for children.
Our work is guided by the vision of a world free from child sexual abuse, where children can grow up happy, healthy, and safe. We know that prevention is possible, and we believe that it is an adult’s responsibility to make choices that protect children, enabling them to live well-adjusted lives to their full potential.
