Darkness2Light National Organization Dear Deborah, Summer is often a favorite time of the year for everyone, but especially for kids. Vacations, sports activities, faith-based programs, camps, and others provide a variety of ways for children to enjoy their time before heading back to school. As parents and concerned adults, it's important that we know how to keep the children in our lives safe as they participate in all the activities the summer has to offer. Important steps to planning a safe and happy summer include choosing the right programs and ensuring there are policies in place to protect your child. I hope this short video will be a useful tool to support you in that process.
	Carol Hogue's Tips for Keeping Kids Safer This Summer
Imagine if all of the adults caring for your child were trained how to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. At Darkness to Light, our goal is to educate adults on the prevention of child sexual abuse. You can help make this happen! For a donation as little as $10, we can train one person through our Stewards of Children®  training. For $350, we can train one facilitator who can then start educating a community. Regardless of the amount of your gift, it will go a long way in preventing child sexual abuse. Please support our work to end child sexual abuse by giving today. Gifts from friends like you make it possible for us to train the adults that care for your child, including summer staff and volunteers serving youth. Funds received by June 30th will make an immediate impact for this summer, so please make your donation today. I’m choosing to make a difference. I hope you will too. Sincerely,
