National Center for Missing & Exploited Children

The mission of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is to help find missing children, reduce child exploitation, and prevent child victimization. Since 1984, the center has served as the national clearinghouse and resource center for families, victims, private organizations, law enforcement and the public. The TowerCares grant will help fund the center’s Volunteer Engagement Program, to increase the potential of reaching more families and children with recovery assistance and critically important safety education. Volunteers will be trained to assist with missing and exploited children and their families, with the hope of reaching a larger audience by increasing the number of volunteers both locally and nationally.
