Help save the next girl.

A national nonprofit formed in honor of Morgan Dana Harrington, working to sensitize young women and girls to predatory danger.

Our mission

Help Save the Next Girl is a national non-profit organization formed in honor of Morgan Dana Harrington, a 20-year-old Virginia Tech student who was abducted and murdered in 2009. We seek to sensitize young women and girls to predatory danger.

Together we create a zone of safety.

Our foundation fosters mutual respect and camaraderie with young men, and we are committed to being an active, imaginative presence on campuses and in clubs and violence-prevention forums across the country.

Help Save the Next Girl continually develops vital relationships with media and law enforcement. Our connections enhance our ability to quickly disseminate urgent information, such as about a missing person. We also provide outreach support to victims' families, and we believe our media presence promotes our mission to keep young women and campus communities alert to predatory danger.

How we help save the next girl
