Help SAFEchild Protect Children

Established in 1992 by the Junior League of Raleigh, SAFEchild is a not-for-profit child abuse prevention agency committed to eliminating child abuse in Wake County by helping adults and children create nurturing environments free from abuse and neglect. What does the group do?
Over its 15 year history, SAFEchild has developed a range of programs to partner with families to help them be successful through parent/caregiver education, individual one-to-one support, and group support. The organization is guided by the belief that all children have a fundamental right to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment. How can you help?
Volunteer opportunities for English and Spanish speakers include: mentoring new mothers, leading parent education groups, facilitating children’s groups, and conducting public student education sessions. All volunteers receive support, supervision, and training.Want to learn more?

If responsibility for the best interests of all News & Observer employees was not enough, VP of Human Resources Jackie Stark volunteers her time with SAFEchild’s nurturing program in addition to sitting on the organization’s Executive Board. When presented with the invitation to get involved, as a person always interested in working with children, Jackie seized on the opportunity to make a difference.
