By combining Safe Surfin' Foundation's nationally recognized internet safety education with GFWC's extensive network of community volunteers, this collaboration will expand awareness, prevention, and education efforts across the country. Together, the organizations will equip parents, educators, and children with practical tools to recognize online dangers, prevent exploitation, and promote safer digital habits. This partnership represents a shared commitment to building safer communities and ensuring every child has the knowledge and protection needed to navigate today's online world.
Here are three programs sponsored by Safe Surfin' Foundation that clubs or states may be interested in pursuing:
Safe Surfin' Foundation Cop in a Box Program
Safe Surfin' Foundation's Cop in a Box program equips law enforcement with computer hardware, software and training that help identify, report, and investigate online crimes against children. By promoting awareness, preserving digital evidence, and encouraging timely reporting of suspicious online activity, the program supports investigations that can lead to the prosecution and incarceration of online predators. Cop in a Box units can be distributed to communities nationwide, expanding access to these valuable resources, strengthening local prevention efforts, increasing prosecutions, and helping protect more children through education and collaboration.
Safe Surfin' Foundation EZ-ID / Guardian ID Kits
Safe Surfin' Foundation's EZ-ID/Guardian ID Kits provide families with an important tool to help protect children and vulnerable adults. These kits enable parents and caregiv-ers to securely record current photographs, fingerprints, physical descriptions, and other identifying information that can be invaluable to law enforcement if a loved one is ever reported missing. Both organizations, working together, can distribute life-saving kits to more communities nationwide. Together, Safe Surfin' Foundation and GFWC are em-powering families, promoting preparedness, and strengthening efforts to safeguard chil-dren and seniors through education, awareness, and community involvement.
Safe Surfin' Foundation, NCMEC, and GFWC Partnership
Safe Surfin' Foundation's partnership with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) strengthens the mission of protecting children from online exploita-tion, trafficking, and internet predators through education, awareness, and community outreach. NCMEC provides nationally recognized resources, training, and support for families, educators, and law enforcement, while Safe Surfin' Foundation delivers internet safety education directly to communities. Our partnership expands this impact by engag-ing thousands of local clubs and volunteers to share life-saving online safety information. Together, these organizations can reach more families, empower communities, and help create a safer digital world for every child.
