Mission Statement
GASP is dedicated to providing a safer environment for our children by delivering safety programs to protect our children from dangerous situations, sexual offenses, abuse and abduction
Description
Our goal is to speak up for our children, educate them, empower them and give them tools to protect temselves when no adult is available! GASP provides educational programs to educate the children and adults. We produce and distribute ID discs that contain digital fingerprints, still photos, a video, and pertinent information on the child. We also distribute DNA kits and safety material. Our volunteers work hand and hand with the local law enforcement, including the Summit County Sheriff's Office and all local police to help search for missing people. GASP hosts a National Missing Children's day event to educate the community on safety issues and our volunteers also sit in the courtrooms and observe sexual offender's trials and sentencings.
