Darkness To Light Abuse Prevention Training

The Old Colony YMCA has partnered with Darkness to Light, a non-profit organization, with an ultimate goal of ending childhood sexual abuse.  Darkness to Light developed Stewards of Children, a 2.5 hr. training program that educates adults to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. In 2007, Stewards of Children was named the Crime Prevention Program of the Year by the National Crime Prevention Council.


Our goal as a Y is to train our community and spread the knowledge of sexual abuse. Through community trainings, we hope to decrease the number of children being abused, educate adults about the signs to look for in children that are being abused and help individuals and organizations put policies in place that keep kids safer.

Childcare will be available.
