Volunteer Training: Stewards of Children

Sign up here for Virtual Stewards of Children

 

Why Stewards of Children?  Stewards of Children is a free 2-hour prevention training program that teaches all adults how to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse.  The program is designed for organizations that serve youth and for individuals concerned about the safety of children. It is the only nationally distributed, evidence-informed program proven to increase knowledge, improve attitudes, and change child-protective behaviors. Research findings from independent evaluators are available on www.D2L.org. This program allows for 2 contact hours of continuing education.

In partnership with New Hope Blount County Children’s Advocacy Center we are committed to be Partners in Prevention.

Anyone interested in a safer community should attend this training.

We recommend you attend this training if you are an Overnight Host,  or have direct contact with our families and children when you volunteer.
