Evaluation Criteria for Resource Links

To request a link:

Upon request, we will evaluate sites for inclusion on the National Runaway Switchboard website. Please read the information below, prior to sending your request. If your site does not meet the criteria, please do not send in a request. The final decision for inclusion is based on whether NRS determines that your site has met the criteria.  However, NRS expressly reserves the right to refuse to offer such links to any person or entity for any reason whatsoever and to terminate any link at any time for any reason whatsoever.  Submit your request to linkrequest@1800RUNAWAY.org

Evaluation criteria for sites:

1. The primary intent of the website is to educate and inform, rather than persuade, convert, or sell.
2. The site is compatible with NRS’ mission, principles, values, and standards.
3. The site provides information that falls in one of our subject categories and is of potential material importance or usefulness to NRS’ constituents.
4. The site's owner or sponsor is easily identifiable, and information on how to contact the owner or sponsor is provided.
5. The site clearly states if any charges or registration process is required for use of the site.
6. The site already contains a link to wwww.1800RUNAWAY.org or with the anticipation that the organization will establish a reciprocal www.1800RUNAWAY.org link on their site when their link has been added to the NRS website.
7. The organization requesting the link has a national presence, influence, and/or scope.
