the project

A Courageous Voice's goal is to keep kids safe on and off line using prevention education for children in schools, those who work with youth, families, and with our ACV Youth Ambassadors. Having our curriculum that is evidence based for Kindergarten through 12th grade to work in schools and other youth serving organizations is the most valuable tool to protect children from harmful situations such as child sex abuse, online predators, bullying, and other on and offline dangers. Children and then equipped with valuable tools so they can have a safe and bright future. 

Our ACV Youth Ambassadors have created a youth led project to make "My Cyber Safety Boxes" to get into the hands of youth. These boxes contain tangible items such as webcam covers, and information to help keep them safe online. Our ambassadors travel to schools and other speaking engagements talking with youth about the online digital dangers, digital citizenship, and more.
