By working together we can accomplish the Foundation's mission. In order to create a safe environment that allows children to grow up into productive citizens, we have developed programs that utilize the talents of concerned citizens, organizations and companies. Organizations and companies win through image enhancement, higher product sales and by fulfilling their social responsibility. Concerned citizens win by giving back to the community and becoming role models. Society wins by linking together to become an integral part of the solution.
Children win because they become educated about and protected from crime abuse and neglect.
The Klaas Foundation for Children wants to work with you to implement programs that work toward solutions. Partnerships that support education and proactive involvement can eliminate the development of current and future generations of victims, potential predators and violent criminals. We must ensure that the world our children inherit from us is safer and more secure than the world we live in today. Our target audience is all children to age sixteen and their families. The average convicted child molester spends only 2.2 years in prison.
