About Us: Darkness to Light is a global nonprofit based in Charleston, SC that empowers adults to prevent child sexual abuse.

Our prevention education programs are the only evidence-informed, adult-focused child sexual abuse trainings proven to increase knowledge and change behavior. Our work empowers adults and organizations to bring best practices in child safety to their own communities.
