Become an Advocate

Stand in the Gap. Be the Light.

You’re Called to More Than Awareness. You’re Called to Action.

Parents, justice advocates, and church leaders have powerful influence—and that influence can change lives. When used intentionally, it can help prevent abuse before it starts and offer lasting hope and healing to those who’ve been hurt.

Sexual Abuse is Often Hidden in Plain Sight.

By the time a child speaks up—if they ever do—the damage has already begun. And while the statistics are staggering, what’s more alarming is how few adults feel confident recognizing the signs.

But silence doesn’t have to win.
When parents get equipped, when churches create safe spaces, and when everyday advocates rise up—abuse loses its power, and children gain protection, safety, and hope.

You Don’t Have to Be a Survivor to Make a Difference.

We invite everyday people with a passion for justice to rise and protect what matters most.

  • Parents who want to safeguard not just their own children—but every child in their community.

  • Churches and youth-serving leaders ready to create safe, restorative spaces.

  • Advocates willing to speak up, raise awareness, and take bold action.

You already have influence. We’ll help you use it. Together, we can prevent abuse and bring lasting hope to the hurting.
