The document outlines ideas for a Safe Place summer outreach program, including identifying locations frequented by youth, partnering with community organizations on summer activities, utilizing existing Safe Place sites, and planning interactive informational events. Suggestions are made for hosting booths and presentations at summer camps, libraries, schools, and community events to promote Safe Place and educate youth on where to find help. Partnerships with local businesses, organizations, and government are encouraged to expand outreach through fliers, posters, PSAs and other promotional methods.
