Pledge to Protect Children in Your Community

Sponsored by: American Humane Association

In years past, neighbors used to sit on their front porches and be more aware of what was going on in their neighborhood.

But even if we don't have front porches anymore, we should still make an effort to become involved in each other's lives and recognize the power of one person in making a significant difference in the life of a child.

American Humane Association's Front Porch Project® reflects this belief that everyone can and should become more aware of how to help protect children in their own community.

Using a capacity-building approach, the Front Porch Project helps participants examine and understand their role in the lives of children and families, as they acquire new skills and learn safe intervention methods to promote child safety and family well-being.  

You can take action in your own community. Pledge to protect children in your community!

I have always been one to help others in need becasue that is just who I am, but it seems for every onehundred times that I helped out another I can't get anyone to even make a small gusture of help for me. I used to have a lot of money and as soon as I was boke every "friend" I had disapeared and one even tried to start drama from me for no reason other than greed. More people need to learn to be kind for the sake of doing the right thing and not because they expect something in return. To me being kind to others used be a symbol of friendship and I always thought that if I ever needed some thing someday I would be returned in the name of friendship. Now I still do kind things because that is who I am, but I know that I do it just so I can sleep better at night.

In my neighborhood, I think we need more activities for children & we need more parents wanting to be involved also. We need mentors for the youth. There is so much violence out here especialy at this moment and there is nothing for the teens to do so they get into a lot of trouble and if they don't care about them-selfs they are quick to act out violence on others. We definatly need more guidence in school and self-esteem projects would help. Everyone in school should get a chance to feel important, we need to start at early ages. We all need to pick up where others left off.

I don't know how many times I have watched someone turn their head because it wasn't their child. That should not be the case, we need to work together to raise the future of America.

Part of being a community is being responsible about what one sees happening around them and helping to take action if something is noticably wrong.
