What is MASK?
MASK (Mothers Awareness on School-age Kids) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization created in 2007 by a group of dedicated mothers who recognized the need to consistently educate families on rapidly changing issues. MASK’s mission is to educate both parents and children about the issues facing our youth and to empower children to make safe, healthy choices. MASK addresses important topics and gives parents the resources they need to communicate with and empower their children. MASK provides “teachable moments,” which can enable parents to open the dialogue on tough issues with their children. Whether a child learns by reading a real-life story or by watching a video testimonial, MASK presents examples of students who were able to turn a negative experience into a lesson from which others can learn.
Why MASK The Magazine?
MASK The Magazine offers parenting solutions for today’s families. We live in a fast-paced, time-deprived world and it’s not easy to keep up with the latest information and trends affecting our children. We want to help you navigate through the school-age years by providing information and solutions about various issues before they even become a problem. MASK The Magazine is a convenient way to receive information about these important matters. Each issue of the award-winning MASK The Magazine tackles a specific topic in-depth and examines how it can affect kids from kindergarten to college. You will learn age-appropriate conversation starters, which can help open the lines of communication between you and your child(ren). MASK The Magazine is packed with advice and will prepare and equip you with the knowledge, resources and decision-making skills to manage the tough challenges head-on.
