Celebrate Back-to-School with ASK!

The Alliance for Safe Kids (ASK) is a collaboration within the Yorktown community aimed at providing youth with the information and skills needed to make healthy decisions while emphasizing the need for families to protect and nurture children by getting informed and staying involved.

With our grant funding winding down, ASK depends on devoted volunteers and donors to fulfill our mission and make possible our work in preventing destructive behaviors for our youth.

We invite you to join us through the opportunities we provide for volunteerism and philanthropy:

Become A Member.

Many of our programs need funding from generous contributions made by donors. Become a member and make a contribution in support of our youth. As a member of ASK, you will receive a 2016-2017 membership card and a “Stop Txting U R Driving” car magnet.

Volunteer.

Donate your time by volunteering on a program committee (ex. Save A Life or Teen Night), at a program or community event and/or by attending a workshop or forum.
