For Wisconsin's children to be the most protected in the nation.
A future where every child is safeguarded by systems that are proactive, connected, and accountable, setting the national standard for safety, prevention, and response.
Make Wisconsin a national leader in child protection.
Project Worth works to close the gaps that fail children and survivors through policy advocacy, prevention education, stronger accountability, and survivor informed reform across Wisconsin.
Our Mission Into Action.
Our work is informed by survivor experience, research, coalition building, and public awareness.
Collaboration Nationwide.
Connecting Knowledge With Human Experience
Project Worth connects research and professional expertise with lived experience to make child protection systems easier to understand and improve.
The strongest systems never lose sight of the people they are meant to protect.
Listen to people. Learn from experts. Connect the dots. Change systems.
Our Values
The principles behind every action we take.
Protection First
Children deserve systems that act early, consistently, and decisively to keep them safe.
Survivor Informed Reform
Lived experience helps shape stronger systems and better protection.
Higher Standards & Accountability
Child serving institutions must uphold standards of safety, judgment, transparency, and accountability, not simply the absence of a criminal record.
Nonpartisan
Child protection is not political. We work across perspectives to advance solutions that keep children safe.
Courage
Brave voices, honest conversations, and survivor centered reform can build safer systems for the next generation.
Research & Evidence
Strong reform should be guided by research, data, survivor experience, and real world system gaps.
