Who We Are

About Project Worth

Protecting Kids. Changing Systems. Empowering Survivors.

Our Vision

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.

Our Mission

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.

★ Currently Volunteer Led

Project Worth is currently volunteer led, with no paid staff or compensated board members. We keep administrative costs intentionally low so resources can support our mission and child protection work.

How We Work

Our Mission Into Action.

Our work is informed by survivor experience, research, coalition building, and public awareness.

Policy Advocacy

We work with lawmakers, agencies, survivors, and community partners to identify gaps in child protection systems and advocate for stronger laws, clearer reporting pathways, and greater accountability.

Prevention & Education

We help communities and organizations serving children strengthen safeguards, recognize warning signs, improve response practices, and prevent abuse before it occurs.

Rooted in Wisconsin. Collaboration Nationwide.

Project Worth welcomes partners, volunteers, advocates, researchers, and organizations from Wisconsin and across the country who share our commitment to protecting children and strengthening the systems that serve them.

Our Goal

Make Wisconsin the safest state for children by 2030.

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.
