Creating Successful Partnerships
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children cultivates dynamic partnerships that provide vital in-kind, programmatic and financial support to our organization. We rely on our partners to support our mission to recover missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation, and prevent future victimization.
These partnerships dramatically enrich our efforts and enhance our impact in the lives of children and families who need us most. Our progress depends on the strength of our partnerships. Together we can ensure that all children have a safe childhood.
