Safe and Caring Supporters and Partners
It is the vision of The Society for Safe and Caring Schools & Communities, that every school and community will be a safe, caring and inclusive environment where each child will learn to be a respectful and responsible citizen. On its own, this is a big undertaking for the Society, but with the help of our sponsors and partners, we can work together to reach this goal.
Through their generous contributions of time and resources, our safe and caring supporters truly demonstrate a dedication to the well being of children and youth.
Since the Society does not make a profit on any of its resources, programs, projects or workshops, it relies completely on its supporters to maintain and move forward with its programs and projects. There are a variety of supporters' packages available for different levels of commitment. For information on supporting SACSC, please contact the Executive Director at the address below. If you would like to receive SACSC newsletters or make a donation, please complete and mail a membership application.
