Find Your Local Safe Kids
Safe Kids Pennsylvania is fortunate enough to hold both Coalitions and Partners of the State doing the work to keep kids safe throughout the state. Coalitions are headed by a lead agency and are responsible for hiring a coordinator who can dedicate at least 20 hours a week to Safe Kids related work. Partners of the State are unique to PA and a few other states, and act as a good option for areas where maintaining a coalition is beyond reach. Partners are also headed by a lead agency, and their coordinator must be able to dedicate at least eight hours a month to Safe Kids work.
Below is the map of our coverage in PA (blue counties are Coalitions; purple counties are Partners of the State). More information is below, as some Coalitions and Partners provide coverage for more than one county.
As of January 2024, there are 8 Coalitions and 11 Partners of the State.
