THE JOSHUA FOUNDATION
The Joshua Foundation at P4C seeks to prevent sexual abuse of children and youth, and improve community responses through collaborative research, scholarship, and the sharing of findings and best practices.
About the Foundation
The Joshua Foundation at P4C is sustaining the original purpose of the Joshua endowment to prevent child sexual abuse. We aim to support 1) prevention –including communication and outreach to disseminate research findings and best practices, 2) research and scholarship, including support of students and faculty at the UW, and 3) collaboration and coordination of activities at the University and with the community. Consistent with the stated focus of the Joshua Foundation, funding will support activities which advance the prevention of child sexual abuse and help improve responses to child victims and adult survivors locally and globally.
Current Focus Areas
- Child sexual abuse and the child welfare system
- Prevention of commercial sexual exploitation of youth
More information coming soon.
Message from the Director
We are eager to integrate the Joshua Foundation with the activities of P4C and build upon the work of founding director, Jon Conte. Combining the Joshua Foundation and Partners for Our Children will amplify our impact. In particular, it will extend P4C’s research, policy advocacy, and system reform efforts to encompass prevention of child and youth sexual abuse.
– Emiko A. Tajima, Executive Director, Partners for Our Children
