Safe Kids Northeast Florida is a local chapter of Safe Kids Florida, a member of Safe Kids Worldwide. Safe Kids Northeast Florida was founded in 2003 with Wolfson Children's Hospital serving as its lead organization. Funding is provided by Wolfson Children's Hospital, public and private grants and donations, and grants from Safe Kids Worldwide. Our mission is to bring together local organizations to address our area's pediatric injury prevention needs, and to prevent accidental injuries in children fourteen and under with initiatives directed at those needs.

Safe Kids Worldwide is a global network of organizations whose mission is to prevent accidental childhood injury, a leading killer of children 14 and under.

More than 450 coalitions in 16 countries bring together health and safety experts, educators, corporations, foundations, governments and volunteers to educate and protect families. The organization was founded in 1987 by Children's National Medical Center with support from Johnson & Johnson.

Safe Kids Northeast Florida is a grateful recipient of a Kohl's Cares for Kids grant in support of its injury prevention efforts for children. Watch for Kohl's Gear Up 4 Safety events throughout the year in "News and Events." Click here to learn how you can help us keep kids safe.
