Igniting Change
Across our neighborhoods, our nation, and our world – Mission Kids is fostering advocacy, research, and action for children’s safety and justice.
The External Affairs Department at Mission Kids takes our mission to protect and heal child abuse victims to the global stage. We dive deep into international research studies, seeking out the best ways to heal and safeguard these young survivors. As subject matter experts, we’re not just about collecting data – we’re about sharing our findings far and wide, through presentations and publications that shed light on what works best.
But we don’t stop there.
We’re also on the front lines closer to home, sitting on committees at the local, statewide, and national levels. Why? Because we’re determined to help shape laws that better protect children and bring justice to those who have suffered abuse. At Mission Kids, we’re not just about making a difference – we’re about making sure it counts, wherever and whenever it’s needed most.
