Our Mission
Protecting kids, empowering families.
At PROTECT NY KIDS, we believe every child deserves to grow up in a safe, nurturing environment. Our mission drives everything we do - from the educational workshops we conduct to the advocacy efforts we champion in state legislature.
We work tirelessly to bridge the gap between awareness and action, providing families with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to keep their children safe. Through evidence-based programs and community partnerships, we're building a stronger, more secure future for New York's children.
