Mission statement: All Children Deserve a World Free From Sexual Harm

• Child sexual abuse is real, experienced by 1 in 5 children, and has a rippling impact on children’s mental and physical health. Child sexual abuse has become more complicated by the internet, including children’s exposure to sexually explicit media and communications.  

Schools are well-positioned to prevent child sexual abuse before it starts.

The ‘Partnering for Prevention: Rural Oklahoma Schools Initiative’ is designed to support Oklahoma elementary schools in implementing impactful policies, procedures, and activities to promote healthy boundaries and behaviors.

This approach has proven positive outcomes in YMCAs across Oklahoma and can work in elementary schools too.

Oklahoma Rural Elementary Schools who participate will have free access to child sexual abuse prevention training and resources for their school, teachers, parents, and students valued at over $4,500.
