Consider Becoming A Safe Place Site

Project Safe Place is a national prevention and outreach program available in more than 300 communities to assist teens who are in a urgent situation. The program works by providing a network of “Safe Places”: businesses and public locations that display the Safe Place logo on
their premises.

Safe Place sites can be any location where young people feel comfortable. Cloverleaf Mall was the program’s sponsor and the initial Safe Place site in Chesterfield County. The program has now expanded into the city of Richmond. Not only shopping malls, but restaurants, convenience stores, libraries, fire stations, entertainment centers and small businesses can be an excellent location for a Safe Place.

Volunteers are always needed for the program. If you would like more information about becoming a Safe Place site, or volunteering please call 275-7697.
