What is this program exactly?                                   

The primary goal of Darkness to Light’s Advocacy Collaborative is to offer modest financial assistance to Stewards of Children® Facilitators to enhance community access and utilization of local Stewards of Children® trainings and support the Authorized Stewards of Children® Facilitators as they develop and grow their community-based child sexual abuse initiatives.

Why do you think it is important to implement?

Funding to help cover Stewards of Children® Workbook costs or Facilitator training costs for underfunded organizations can help launch their child protection policies by implementing Stewards of Children® trainings.

What does it mean for the future of prevention?

Cultural change occurs when adults are provided reputable information and tools necessary to motivate changes in personal, family, and organizational rituals, behaviors, and policies that are known to better protect children. Social and behavioral change toward improved safety for children evolves “one training at a time” in communities.

How can you get involved?

Promote Stewards of Children® trainings to friends, family, neighbors, and organizations in your community.

Invite local organizations and businesses to partner in support of local Stewards of Children® trainings.

Invite donations to Darkness to Light’s Advocacy Collaborative.
