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.
Every dollar raised will help bring us closer to our vision of a nation free of child abduction and sexual exploitation of children.
We cannot do this critical work without your help!
