Our Mission
Preventing unintentional injury and death in children ages 14 and under.

Safe Kids is a worldwide organization that was founded in 1987, and since then has contributed to a 57% decline in childhood deaths due to accidental injury. It has branches in all 50 states, and Safe Kids Sarpy/Cass is a chapter of Safe Kids Nebraska. Our local Safe Kids chapter, founded in 2006, is dedicated to helping families learn how to stay safe because 90% of accidental injuries can be avoided with proper education. Safe Kids Sarpy/Cass offers free interactive safety presentations to schools, daycares, libraries, parent groups, and other organizations in Sarpy and Cass Counties.

Safe Kids creates a safe environment for kids by using education, research, and advocating for effective laws. Safe Kids uses a collaboration of programs to reduce injuries and death in children 14 years and younger.

Safe Kids Sarpy/Cass County addresses injuries in priority areas including: child passenger safety, pedestrian safety, wheeled sports safety, home safety, farm safety, water safety, poison control, fire/burns, and falls.

Safe Kids Sarpy/Cass County holds monthly meetings in both Sarpy and Cass counties. Call 402-339-4334 x 210 for meeting dates and times.
