A few ways you can participate this year.

We've given nearly 2.5 million people the tools to protect children & prevent abuse.

For 25 years, Darkness to Light has stood as a beacon for child protection and prevention education, empowering countless adults in communities around the world to build safe environments that protect children from sexual abuse.

As we celebrate this milestone, we’re more committed than ever to light the way for a brighter tomorrow, helping to ensure that every child can grow up safe, supported, and free from harm.

Join us as we reflect on two-and-a-half decades of impactful work and look forward to a future where every adult plays an active role in preventing abuse before it ever occurs.

Together, We’re Giving Kids a Chance

Darkness to Light is proud of the progress we’ve made, but our work is far from over. With your support, we can create a future where every child can grow up free from abuse.

We've built a global network of Stewards ready and able to protect children, but there’s still so much work to be done. This year, we’re raising $25,000 in honor of our 25th Anniversary to continue our work and train more adults in Stewards of Children® than ever. Your donation helps us get closer and closer to a safer world. Will you help us make this vision a reality? Join us in this journey and donate today– let’s make the next 25 years just as impactful.

Help Protect Kids Now

Stewards of Children® gives me an approachable, trauma-informed tool to teach families and those who work with children in my community about child sexual abuse prevention and response.
