Empowering Children: Goya Cares' Commitment to Safety Education
Goya Cares Collaborates with NYC Schools to Enhance Safety Education
'Stay Smart. Stay Safe.' Protecting Our Children
Through the Goya Cares initiative, Goya Foods—one of the largest Hispanic-owned food companies in the United States—is actively working to protect children by sponsoring essential prevention education curricula across various locations. Demonstrating a steadfast commitment to child safety, Goya has already made significant strides in New York City Public Schools. Over the past three years, their initiatives have positively impacted more than 100,000 students in 100 schools, particularly those identified as having a heightened risk of bullying.
Essential Support for At-Risk Schools
This year, Goya Foods is directing its resources specifically toward schools faced with the greatest challenges. Their goal is to ensure that the support humanizes the students who need it most, establishing a framework for safety and awareness within the school environment.
The Vision Behind Goya Cares
“Goya Cares is proud to champion initiatives that uplift our communities and provide children with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of their lives,” shared Rafael Toro, the National Director of Public Relations at Goya Foods. “By partnering with the NYC Department of Education and the Monique Burr Foundation, we are providing essential education that empowers students to recognize and respond to potentially dangerous situations—giving them the confidence to advocate for their own safety.”
Fostering Safety Awareness in Schools
As part of Child Abuse Prevention Month, students from sixth grade at the Academy for Independent Learning and Leadership engaged in lessons emphasizing online safety. They learned about the various digital threats, cyberbullying, and key safety principles, including the importance of identifying 'Safe Adults'—trusted figures they can turn to for help and support.
Collaboration for Student Empowerment
“As Chancellor, keeping our students safe from bullying and abuse is a top priority,” stated Melissa Ramos, Chancellor of the New York City Board of Education. “I’m grateful for the partnership with Goya Cares and the Monique Burr Foundation as we work toward the shared goal of caring for the next generation of New Yorkers.”
Innovative Curriculum for Child Safety
The curriculum that Goya Cares has adopted, developed by the Monique Burr Foundation, is the only evidence-based program specifically tailored to meet the challenges of polyvictimization. This innovative curriculum is trauma-informed and essential in helping students distinguish between safe and unsafe situations and relationships.
Global Commitment to Child Well-Being
Goya Cares represents a global initiative dedicated to fostering safer, healthier environments for communities worldwide. Its efforts underscore the importance of active social responsibility, collaborating with organizations that share a holistic approach to child well-being. Goya Cares aims not only to protect children from abuse through preventative education but also brings attention to the mental health challenges that affect children and teens today.
