The Door County YMCA will join YMCAs nationwide April 13-17 for Five Days of Action, a campaign aimed at raising awareness about child abuse prevention and promoting digital safety for children.

Throughout the week, the Door County YMCA will provide resources and education to help parents and caregivers better understand and navigate the evolving digital landscape. As part of the initiative, the organization is partnering with Quantum Technologies and local law enforcement to host a free information session on online safety.

The session, titled “Keeping Kids Safe in the Digital Space,” is scheduled for Thursday, April 16, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at both Door County YMCA program facilities.

“Technology is an amazing tool for learning and connection, but it also presents new risks,” said Door County YMCA CEO Tonya Felhofer. “By working together and staying informed, we can create safer digital spaces for all children.”

The YMCA emphasizes that protecting children is a shared responsibility among adults, both online and offline. The Five Days of Action campaign encourages community members to recognize warning signs of abuse, have open conversations with children, and take steps to ensure their safety.

In 2026, the YMCA is also collaborating with national organizations including Praesidium, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Lauren’s Kids and the National Children’s Alliance to provide additional tools and resources.

More information about the campaign, including how to take the pledge to protect children, is available at the Five Days of Action website.  Or, for more information on local programs, please visit the Door County YMCA website.
