In 2013, The Amy Center developed the program “Body Boundaries”. This is a comprehensive, ongoing, sexual abuse prevention program offered to preschool through High School students during the school year. The program has seen incredible growth in 2019, that they’ve been able to serve over 2,000 more students than they could last year. This leads to more reporting and more families and children helped. Children and their adult role models are becoming more aware of where to turn when an abuse crisis is upon them. They are finding their voice and reaching out for help.
More help is always needed and that’s where The Amy Center comes in. The Amy Center offers their services free of charge but they’re never free of expenses. The Center holds many events that are crucial fundraisers in continuing their mission. Their volunteers and board members work tirelessly to continue the success of the events. With 7 counties to serve, the work is never-ending.
