Together We Can Stop Online Child Exploitation™
National PAL has partnered with the Department of Homeland Security’s Know2Protect initiative to address online child exploitation and abuse. This program brings together organizations like Intel, Meta, Google, NFL, and others to educate children, parents, and policymakers.
Our goal is to:
-
- prevent exploitation
- teach how to report online abuse
- offer resources for victims and their supporters
National PAL will collaborate with its 300+ chapters to provide training and tools for combating online threats against children. Together, these efforts aim to create safer online environments for young people.
Every kid needs a PAL!
