FOR PARENTS AND ADULT VOLUNTEERS:
Samantha's PRIDE Neighborhood Child Protection Program

The PRIDE Program is patterned after the example of a lion's pride whereby all of the adults work together to keep a vigilant watch outside to protect the young from predators. PRIDE Program Facilitators offer public presentations focused on raising awareness and prevention education as well as an opportunity to join a Neighborhood PRIDE to ensure continued vigilance for child protection. Similar to the Neighborhood Watch model, PRIDE Members submit a background check application and take an oath to work together to model safe parenting behaviors and provide outdoor supervision of children before and after school, at community events and parks.
