Darkness to Light

In 2000, Anne Lee, now Darkness to Light's President and CEO, developed and implemented a strategy for a non-profit primary prevention program with the mission of reducing the incidence of child sexual abuse through public awareness and education. With tremendous community support, over $100,000 was raised and an award-winning Darkness to Light media campaign was developed and launched in June of 2001.

Darkness to Light's public awareness campaign seeks to raise awareness of the prevalence and consequences of child sexual abuse. Their ads are a "call to action" encouraging adults to call or go online for free materials that educate adults to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. Darkness to Light is also actively educating adults through its newest initiative, Stewards of Children, a sexual abuse prevention training program that provides frontline training for organizations and corporations that serve children and youth.

Darkness to Light's Stewards of Children will be adapted into an online format by early 2006, vastly increasing the number of adults that will be trained to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. Darkness to Light believes that the answer to success lies in collaboration and partnership with other stakeholders in this field. By working together, they can help stop countless numbers of children from being sexually abused.

Mission:
Their programs raise awareness of the prevalence and consequences of child sexual abuse by educating adults about the steps they can take to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to the reality of child sexual abuse.
