Polly Klaas Foundation

The renovation of the polly klaas community theater was completed in october of 2022 and has since been the host to several youth-based performing artists. The demand for this space was higher than anticipated, and we are delighted with its early success in providing a much needed space for youth-based performances and afterschool theater programs.

The foundation also provides social media safety education for middle-school students, which provides education on how to be safe online. The foundation works with state and federal law-makers to develop and implement legislation that keep children safe.

Prevention/education - child safety kits - the child safety kit is the foundation's flagship publication and the principal vehicle for mission fulfillment in the areas of education and abduction prevention. The kit includes 28 pages of positive, encouraging guidance for parents on how to teach their children to stay safe "without scaring your child or yourself."by communicating a hopeful message to parents, the child safety kit unblocks the paralyzing fear of stranger abduction, and models ways for parents to teach their children how not to go missing or, if children do get lost or separated, how to ask for help. The child safety kit gives parents, educators and law enforcement professional's powerful teaching tools that strongly supports family involvement and communication.as members of the sonoma county human trafficking task force, the foundation also hosts trainings on the sexual exploitation of minors to regional law enforcement and non-profit organizations. The foundation has peace officer standards of training (post) certified instructors to create curriculum and assist law enforcement in the recovery of endangered/at-risk runaways and missing children.
