Every Child
Deserves Safety.
Our mission is to empower communities with skilled volunteer support, united in the fight to eliminate violence against children.
A coalition of trained volunteers.
CDTF volunteers run education programs, awareness campaigns and advocacy efforts that create a protective atmosphere for vulnerable children. When a child goes missing, we stand ready to support law enforcement by coordinating searches, providing resources and raising public awareness.
Three Pillars
Advocacy
Upholding every child's fundamental right to safety and well-being.
Search & Rescue
Rapid-response strategies to locate and secure children at risk.
Safety
Connecting at-risk youth with protective resources that build resilience.
Guiding Principles
Children must be protected
Children deserve to grow up free from the fear and trauma that violence brings.
Violence against one child is a crime against all
When one child suffers, every child is less safe.
Actions must be quick and decisive
When a child is in danger, time is everything.
Community members must step up
Neighbors who stay alert and involved are a child's first line of defense.
