Welcome to The Learning Love Foundation
Where love becomes a skill—and life becomes more meaningful.
At The Learning Love Foundation, we believe love isn’t just an emotion—it’s something you can learn, practice, and grow. From protecting children to thriving in the workplace. From building healthy families to connecting in communities. We’re here to help you build stronger relationships, deeper fulfillment, and a life that truly matters.
Explore our four core programs designed to help you thrive
—in love, at work, and in life.
Stewards of Children®
Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Training
1 in 10 children in the U.S. are sexually abused before their 18th birthday
90% of abused children are abused by someone they know
Approximately 1 in 9 youth experience online sexual exploitation
Only 1 in 5 cases of child sexual abuse are reported to an adult
While many of us grew up with warnings of “stranger danger”, the truth is most children who experience sexual abuse are victimized by someone they and their family know and trust. Sexual abuse is the biggest public health crisis facing children today and research shows that people who experience sexual abuse as children are more likely to suffer from life-long psychological and health consequences, including post-traumatic stress syndrome, substance abuse, depression and early death.
The good news is child sexual abuse can be stopped. Through education and training, adults can be empowered to recognize the signs of child sexual abuse,respond responsibly, and create organizations and communities that are safe for kids.
