Our Program
What We Do
Darkness to Light offers an evidence-informed, two-hour training curriculum called Stewards of Children, providing adults with the training to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse.
The training curriculum is available to any adult with direct or ongoing responsibility for children and adolescents. These adults may be parents, teachers, coaches, youth leaders, mentors, or any other adult who is responsible for the safety of children.
