EVERY CHILD DESERVES TO FEEL SAFE AT SCHOOL
Mission
DefendThem Carteret is committed to ensuring that every child in Carteret County learns in a safe, secure environment. In collaboration with the Carteret County Board of Education, we fund urgent and essential school safety initiatives that lie beyond the reach of traditional budgets. Our mission is to take bold, tangible action to protect our students—because every child deserves to feel safe at school.
Vision
​
We envision a future where every student feels shielded by the added protection and supported by the resources their community has united to provide. Through both immediate action and long-term planning, including the creation of a Safety Endowment Fund, DefendThem Carteret is building a legacy of action, unity, and collaboration.
When Words Fail, Actions Speak
Together, we have the opportunity to create a core memory for our children - that their community came together and stood united to take action, rather than waiting and debating.
​
Let us show our children what it looks like to stand together and take meaningful action, to protect what matters most in Carteret County - our children. This is our call to action - to DefendThem Carteret, helping partner with our school system to fund urgent, unfunded safety needs in our schools.
No waiting. No debating. Just action.
