Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Speaking

We tour the continent speaking at schools and businesses in order to raise awareness of the dangers smart phones and social media pose to children. Our speakers are known for their highly interactive, humorous, and educational presentations. They have years of experience as educators and professional speakers.

Today's youth face challenges unimaginable by previous generations, including:

Screens that are creating addictions as powerful and destructive as cocaine or heroine.
Social media platforms that are driving up depression rates, self-harm, and even suicide rates and pornography addictions.
Gaming addictions that cause lack of focus and sleep and even behavioral issues
Predators who use pornography, sexting, cat-fishing, black-mail, parent/child relationships, and self-image to victimize kids and families.

Population(s) Served
Families
Adults
Children and youth

Equity strategies

Last updated: 04/12/2022

GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
