**PROMOTE–SPREAD THE WORD–EDUCATE THE PUBLIC**
One way is to try to get as many people as you can to look at our website & let your friend’s know that you are helping us promote child abuse awareness–it will help us to educate the public faster!!  You will then be doing your part to help these children.  Even if your friends only log on & read our site ONCE….they will remember the signs/symptoms to look for, who to contact,  intervention, prevention & recovery of child abuse.  JUST THINK OF HOW MANY CHILDREN’S LIVES COULD BE SAVED IF ALL INDIVIDUALS WERE TRAINED ON WHAT TO LOOK FOR!!!

Education & knowledge is the key to prevention!!!!

**DONATE YOUR TIME LOCALLY**
You could also look in your area @ your local resources to see if they need volunteers (@ the shelters, hospitals) This would be a way for you to learn more about the statistics of child abuse & to help your community. Recently, one of our members used our website as a POWERPOINT PRESENTATION at his church.  He not only received a huge, positive response from his missionary, but also had a child come forward to report molestation that had been taking place in the nursery—THE MAN WAS ARRESTED!!!  All because she saw our website, was educated, and KNEW to report this crime!!!

**VOLUNTEER**
We encourage the public and other child abuse advocates to “volunteer” to help DREAMCATCHERS.  We  ask that you  help to promote child abuse awareness & education, distribute our literature, publications and information and think of unique ideas/fundraisers to help us raise funds so that we may continue our mission successfully.  We need the public to be actively involved in our child abuse advocacy—we cannot do it alone.

**FUNDRAISE**
We are an official non-profit 501(c)3 organization and are funded by donations, grants & charity benefits.  You could organize unique fundraisers such as car washes, bake sales, community garage sale, art contests, 50/50 raffles, etc. ALL proceeds collected are directly donated back into the organization to help to help educate the public on how to help these abused children!!! Why not involve everyone in your community?  Organize a community fund raiser & donate a percentage of the funds towards a child abuse organization of your choice.  Learn more about fundraising here!

What clergy and religious leaders can do to make religious institutions safe places for members to seek and find help.
• Break the silence by speaking openly about the existence of abuse and preaching about exploitation and violence.
• Ask a community?based child abuse specialist to speak to the congregation.
• Offer prevention programs for children in religious education.
• Develop a foster home recruitment program sponsored by the church or synagogue.
• Provide parenting classes, support groups and respite care for parents under pressure.
• Operate “latchkey” programs for children.
• Designate a day or month for educating and activating the congregation (April is National Child Abuse Prevention month in the United States).
