Our Mission

We seek the eradication of the sexual abuse of youth ages 12 to 17 and the conditions that create and encourage obstacles to the prevention of abuse. We do this by identifying, evaluating, conducting and disseminating research and developing and implementing prevention interventions for youth, caregivers, and professionals. 

Our Values

Diversity. We maintain a special commitment to diverse youth, including youth of color, LGBTQ+ youth and youth with disabilities.

Scientific inquiry. We identify, advocate for and disseminate evidence-based information, research, and interventions.

Collaboration. We engage with youth, parents and caregivers, scholars, prevention professionals and organizations with whom we share the goal of eradicating sexual abuse.

Youth Leadership. Our youth consultants and youth advisory board help create and deliver youth-developed prevention messages and interventions.

Our Activities

We focus on identifying, evaluating, conducting, and disseminating research and developing and implementing interventions for the prevention of child sexual abuse.
