Community training

During 2010, 3080 individuals attended a Stewards of Children  training in Wisconsin.  Awareness to Action supports the program by supplying the participant workbooks, which comes to an expense of $43,120.

A six-month follow-up survey showed that as a result of participating in the training:

• There was a 31 percent increase in the number of adults who dropped in unexpectedly when an adult was working with a child just to make sure that the child was safe.
• Forty-seven percent more adults made sure that a situation in which an adult was supervising a child or group of children was observable and interruptible.
• The number of adults who asked a staff member at a school, sports league, faith, afterschool/community-based program or other youth-serving program about the organization's policies on the screening of staff and volunteers who work with children and adolescents increased by 30 percent.
