Join the movement to protect our children Join us for a free, two-hour Stewards of Children training and you'll learn how to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. One in ten children will suffer sexual abuse by age 18. So whether you're a parent or someone who works with youth, chances are a child you know and care about is affected. Our vision: Make Wilkes County the safest place for children in North Carolina. Our goal: Train 5% of the adult population in Stewards of Children over the next five years. We want to make child protection and abuse prevention second nature in Wilkes County. Won't you help us make it happen? Stewards of Children is...

You'll meet survivors who lived through child sexual abuse and ultimately were able to find healing.
