How We Work

“If I would’ve done this training before or during the time when my children were being sexually abused, I would’ve seen the signs. I would’ve spoken differently to my children. I would’ve had different conversations with my mother and her husband... But I had no tools and I had no education on prevention. Our goal has always been that every adult should receive this training and we’re not going to stop until that happens."

“In Oregon, many of our nonprofits, state agencies, and individuals work hard every day to prevent and fight child sexual abuse, but the challenge is great. We see this program as a way to help."

“We’ve created a group of people who know they can talk to any adult in our church and they will say the same things because we have the same words, resources, and tools due to Stewards of Children^®. We talk about risk the same way and look at the opportunities for prevention within our church. We’ve made it too much of a thing here and I’m grateful."

“At first, some faculty and employees did not want to participate because they did not interact with children in their jobs. However, after taking the Stewards of Children^® training, most were amazed at how useful and empowering it was."

“Stewards of Children^® has emerged as a beacon of hope, opening doors to much-needed conversations and shattering the shadows surrounding this issue. As a tennis coach, among my various roles, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of this training. I was able to equip myself with the knowledge to create a safe haven for the children in our program."
