Today is #GivingTuesday – and your gift has the power to change the future!
Your gift just might:
Make a child love recess again – because you helped schoolyard supervisors learn more strategies to help kids get along better!
Protect a teen from online predators – because you helped them learn how to spot trouble early, move away, and get help!
Give worried parents peace of mind – because you helped them learn how to keep their kids safe without scaring them!
Help a senior regain the confidence to go out – because you helped them discover the power they DO have to keep themselves safe.
Prevent domestic violence – because you helped create opportunities for survivors to build new skills for safe, strong relationships.
Change tomorrow’s stories of bullying and abuse into stories of safety – because you helped empower people with skills to protect themselves and their loved ones!
