The Starr Institute is committed to educate, engage and empower youth and the community about child sexual abuse and exploitation. We offer in-person and virtual workshops that are interactive, culturally relevant, age appropriate and fun for youth ages 12-17. Youth should have an active role in their safety. We believe that as we make awareness and prevention a priority and not just a reactionary response to an outcry, then we will be in a better position to protect the children and youth from abuse. We welcome you to our community! We hope that by engaging with us you will better understand how to protect the youth in your lives, how to effectively communicate with them and become a trusted adult.
