Founded by parents of children in the Salem area, we are a true grassroots organization as we are un-funded with all group work done on a volunteer only basis.  We maintain an ongoing working relationship with both the Salem Police and local school administrators. 

Our network of families participating in the Safe Kids program now exceeds 200 families.  Since it's inception, we have remained a non-funded group.  The decision was made early on to seek funding ONLY for specific projects as-needed. This policy allows us to best focus on our primary cause- keeping an ever watchful eye on the children of Salem.

Salem Safe Kids has a twofold objective to help protect the children of our community.

Family Awareness

Bringing to the attention of other parents in a peer to peer fashion that there are steps you can take to help keep the children of our community safe from those who would choose to victimize children is a responsibility all parents share.

By creating an open environment where parents can speak to each other at regularly scheduled meetings and heighten watchfulness over the children in our community is a vital first step.  By creating a forum of open dialogue, questions about how to best share with our children prudent safety habits can be answered with honesty and candor without creating panic.

Our monthly email newsletter offer members of the Network both helpful safety tips and information, as well as keeping the issue of ongoing child safety in the forefront. 

Educational Awareness

Easy access to both on-line and real-time resources is the key to education not only parents but also the children of our community. Dedicated Salem Safe Kids Educational liaisons can work directly with members of our schools support staff to see that vital information is presented in a spirit of education and helpfulness.
