Everyone can make a difference in the life of a child. Help support safe communities for happy children.
Protecting children in North America
We prevent and stop child abuse by empowering individuals through education, responding to concerns of child maltreatment in the US and Canada, and helping management implement ISKCON child protection policies. We support Child Protection Volunteers in service to their local community as well as the work of the International CPO.
Please help us meet our goals.
Donations to the Child Protection Office enable us to do the vital work involved in preventing and responding to child abuse. Recurring donations allow us to budget and plan ahead. To learn more details about about each donation goal, please visit our Donate page.
Every contribution helps, please give what you can.
YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!
Take Action in Child Protection
Learn
Protecting children is Vaisnava seva. Learning more about how child maltreatment manifests helps us identify and stop abuse. Understanding the effects of child abuse helps rectification take place. Education empowers our communities to create safe spaces where abuse can’t occur. We have collected many resources for education and support.
Ways to Help
How often can you help? Once a year? Once a week? Everyday? Your participation makes a difference in creating a culture that values children and prioritizes their well-being. Protecting children enables our society to thrive. Consider the multitude of ways that you can help, some of them as easy as a social sharing or writing a message.
Report
Often a child’s only hope for a better tomorrow is when a report is made on his/her behalf by a concerned person. It is every adult’s responsibility to report concerns of child abuse or neglect. When you see something, say something to people who can help. Is it child abuse or not? Learn more about identifying the different types of abuse.
