Kimberly Cabral

CEO/Founder, MASK


Kimberly Cabral is the founder and CEO of MASK (Mothers Awareness on School-age Kids), and the Publisher of MASK The Magazine. MASK, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, was established in 2007. Kimberly is the mother of a blended family of five children who was inspired to create MASK after a conversation in the car with her son who was about to enter middle school. Realizing that issues relating to drug use, drinking, bullying, and technology safety are affecting children much younger than the then established prevention programs were being delivered, she approached two other moms who shared her concern about the safety and well-being of children. Together, after receiving training by experts such as police detectives and psychologists in areas that included drugs, bullying, self-esteem and internet safety, they formed MASK, offering age-appropriate prevention programs for children from kindergarten to college and accompanying parent programs. The MASK mission is to engage and educate parents, children and the community about issues facing youth today and to empower children to make safe, healthy choices. Kimberly’s vision for MASK’s school-based program, the MASK E3 Institute, is to build and strengthen social and emotional skills in children while helping the school create a positive climate and atmosphere in a manner that helps teachers and school administrators meet educational standards. In 2011, Kimberly’s passion for reaching families led her to create MASK The Magazine, a quarterly publication that provides parenting solutions for today’s families. It is the parenting manual offering solutions to the modern day challenges families face. Kimberly recognized that parents want the latest information affecting youth however they are time-deprived and often unable to make one more commitment to attend a parent meeting. MASK The Magazine is a resource for busy moms, dads, grandparents, caregivers, and professionals to stay up-to-date on the important issues affecting school-age children. Kimberly has a steadfast ability to accomplish anything she puts her mind to and her vision and passion to help families is unwavering. She believes her team is created of individuals with specific talents and gifts whom when working together have the ability to create long-lasting, effective change among today’s youth and families. Most importantly Kimberly believes in helping school-age children make better decisions, because they are our most precious resource.
