Education & Prevention
As part of our Community Outreach Initiative, Mission Kids offers various prevention programs suitable for different ages and roles.
We organize training sessions, engaging talks and presentations, and participate in fairs and community events.
Our educational programs focus on students, educators, child-serving professionals, community leaders, businesses, caregivers, and foster care families. However, we can customize presentations to suit the needs of any group or organization.
