Establish a Scholarship Fund
Too frequently the decision to educate staff and volunteers of a youth serving organization comes down to simple economics. Schools, Recreation Programs, Churches, etc often don't have dollars to spare to devote to activities like training when they might be struggling to keep the doors open and lights on. The cost of a child being abused at an organization is astronomical - the incalculable emotional cost for the child and family, the potential legal costs to the organization, and the very pricey loss of an organization's reputation, to name only a few. Despite this, our network of dedicated Facilitators all over the country hear "we just don't have the money to spend on training" every day. A Scholarship Fund can be created to train a set number of people within a specific audience that you care about, like schools, coaches, or music instructors. Or, you may be interested in a establishing a Scholarship Fund for a specific community. We also have a general Scholarship Fund that allows us to distribute the scholarships to any type of organization in any local. Scholarship Funds can be established in any amount and every scholarship is used for training. Our research indicates that for every ONE adult trained, TEN children are better protected. Please contact us if you would like to discuss establishing a Scholarship Fund.

Are you aware that you can “invest” in families by supporting WOVEN? Our families are in crisis—they are broken. Children frequently lack the stability to develop into productive young adults. Every child deserves to be raised in a safe, warm, and caring family. Families that learn, play, and work together develop the capacity to trust, care, and respect themselves and others.
