Story Behind the Leadership
Jeff Collins
2026 NCMEC Board
Join me in supporting NCMEC. A donation today can make an immediate, life‑saving difference for children and families.
For nearly a decade, Jeff has partnered with NCMEC to help make the internet safer for children. His commitment began while he was leading Trust & Safety at After School, then one of the nation’s largest teen-focused apps, and continued through his work at TikTok and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Across each role, Jeff saw the same challenge: protecting children online requires collaboration across companies, communities, and organizations dedicated to keeping kids safe.
“The safety of children is the most important — and one of the most challenging — aspects of internet safety today,” Jeff says. “What happens online can have real-world consequences.”
As technology continues to evolve, so do the risks children face. AI is transforming how content is created and shared, while bad actors continue to adapt quickly. Jeff believes NCMEC is uniquely positioned to address these challenges because of its ability to bring together the people, expertise, and resources needed to protect children and support families.
That’s why Jeff is honored to serve on NCMEC’s Board of Directors — and why he’s asking you to join him in supporting this critical mission.
Every gift helps NCMEC continue leading the way in an ever-changing digital world.
Every child deserves to be safe, supported, and found.
