For Churches
Your Faith Community can make a difference to keep young people safe! We have been working with churches since 2005, supporting them with education, tools and actions to keep children safe from the dangers of sexual exploitation and trafficking.
We believe we are called as people of faith to work together on this issue, first by becoming educated and opening these conversations with adults and youth in our churches. This allows us to go forward together supporting youth in healthy ways, working in our own communities to shift cultural influences that put youth at risk, and to act responsibly in the movement to end commercial sexual exploitation.
How Do We Get Started?
One person can get things started in your church as a Cherish All Children contact, or a group of people can work together as a Cherish All Children Team, engaging your community in ways to raise healthy generations free from sexual exploitation.
We can connect with you for a virtual meeting or presentation to get started!
