Our mission is to ensure each child and family has the opportunity to receive the sexual education and skills they need for healthy relationships in the future.
Currently, we do this by advocating for and supporting positive school policies
and state legislation that furthers this mission.
When schools, parents, and the state work together,
we support S.M.A.R.T. Kids.

Proven to Help
Prevent Sexual Abuse
1 in 3 girls and 1 in 4 boys will experience sexual abuse.
Prevention starts by helping youth know what abuse is, and also by helping them know how (and when) they should ask for help.
Having the skills to communicate, to use and express boundaries, and to know the difference between appropriate touch and inappropriate touch has been proven to reduce the risk of child sexual abuse.
