National Missing Children's Day
In
1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed May 25 as National Missing Children’s
Day. Each year, the Department of Justice (DOJ) commemorates Missing Children’s
Day with a ceremony honoring the heroic and exemplary efforts of agencies,
organizations, and individuals to protect children.
Missing
Children’s Day is dedicated to encouraging parents, guardians, caregivers, and
others concerned with the well-being of children to make child safety a
priority. It serves as a reminder to continue our efforts to reunite missing
children with their families and an occasion to honor those dedicated to this
cause.
As
part of this initiative, the U.S. Department of Justice has launched a National
Missing Children’s Day Poster Contest which invites fifth-grade
students to create a poster to include the theme “Bringing Our Missing Children
Home”.
U.S. Department of Justice Annual National Poster Contest for Missing Children

The plight of missing and abducted children is a priority all year long, this opportunity allows students to participate in the mission of bringing missing children home and promoting child safety.
