National Safe Place

For 102 years, El Paso Center for Children, Inc. (the Center) has provided specialized care and services for four generations of children and families. Today, we continue serving youth living with different challenges, among them youth and young adults experiencing homelessness, who have run away, or who have been trafficked. As the National Safe Place lead agency for El Paso, the Center has created a network of 79 community partners who serve as an access point to our agency’s continuum of services and linkages to other providers in El Paso.

Become a Safe Place Community

Safe Place works hard to ensure safety is available to youth at every corner. There are several models of Safe Place that can be considered. Take a look at the following options or contact Safe Place today to determine which model is best for your community.

Safe Place Site

Safe Place sites are businesses and other public locations designated by licensed Safe Place agencies as “safe places” for youth to go when in a crisis situation. These locations fit criteria set up by NSPN and receive orientation and training by the local licensed Safe Place agency. Learn more about becoming a Safe Place site here.

Safe Place Ambassador

Safe Place Ambassadors are volunteers who are passionate about creating a world where all youth are safe. Ambassadors are committed to increasing awareness and education of the Safe Place program. Learn more about becoming a Safe Place Ambassador here.
