About our mission
At NCMEC, our teams work around the clock—responding to urgent reports, supporting families in crisis, and helping bring children home safely. We partner with families, private industry, law enforcement, and communities to find missing children, stop child sexual exploitation, and prevent child victimization. This work never stops. And neither can we.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
We cannot do this critical work without your help!
