Safer tomorrow, thanks to Safer Tomorrows [GrandForksHerald.com]

Editor's note: Safer Tomorrows is a collaboration of 40 agencies in Grand Forks County to address children's exposure to all forms of violence.

Starting in 2011, the effort was awarded more than $3 million in grants, the bulk of that from a competitive U.S. Department of Justice grant program.

The program's four lead partners—Grand Forks, the Grand Forks School District, Lutheran Social Services and the Community Violence Intervention Center—used the money to support extensive bullying and sexual-assault prevention programs, therapy services for child victims and character-building efforts such as the Coaching Boys into Men program.

Over time, Safer Tomorrows activities were offered in every public school and three parochial schools in Grand Forks County.
