Awareness, education, and shared responsibility.
Freedom to Play is a long-term national initiative focused on raising awareness about child safety, encouraging thoughtful conversations, and supporting collaboration among families, educators, professionals, and community leaders. Our mission is rooted in the belief that awareness leads to understanding, understanding encourages action, and collective action creates lasting positive change.
Our Vision
To become a trusted, nationally recognized destination that supports child safety through education, awareness, research, and meaningful community engagement — a platform that grows alongside the people it serves.
Core Values
The principles that guide every decision, conversation, and campaign we take on.
Awareness
We share information and stories that help families and communities understand the issues that affect children.
Education
We develop and highlight resources that support parents, educators, and community leaders.
Collaboration
Meaningful progress happens when people from different backgrounds work together toward shared goals.
Compassion
Every conversation is grounded in care for children, families, and the communities that support them.
Transparency
We believe open dialogue and honest information are essential to building trust and lasting change.
Community Responsibility
Safer environments for children begin in neighborhoods, schools, and organizations across the country.

A long-term journey.
Freedom to Play is designed as a long-term initiative — not a single campaign. Our goal is to grow alongside the communities we serve, expanding educational resources, supporting research, and creating a trusted destination where families and professionals can stay informed and involved.
