Take 25

Take25 Logo

Take 25® is a national child safety campaign of the National Center for Missing Exploited Children encouraging families to take 25 minutes to talk to their children about safety and abduction prevention. The goal of Take 25 is to heighten awareness about child safety issues.

Take 25 was created in commemoration of Missing Children's Day, observed each year on May 25. National Missing Children's Day serves as a reminder to make child safety a national priority.

Take 25 provides free safety resources to help keep children safer including safety tips, conversation starters and event planning guides.

NCMEC invites you to join the thousands of communities, organizations and individuals who have joined the Take 25 campaign throughout the U.S. and in other countries.
