Welcome
Mission
Our volunteer nonprofit is comprised of experts who use science-backed standards to deliver pre-incident education, social hygiene training, and to increase health-positive behaviors.
The proceeds fund Social Safety Day! Once funded, this social hygiene program will bring regular public health training to children across the country.
Vision
By investing in the network of knowledge, communities will collectively navigate challenge with agency and strength.
