This November, getting involved in National Runaway Prevention Month is as easy as flipping a switch! Porch lights across the country will glow green during November to raise awareness and show support for runaway youth.

You can become a part of the Green Light Project by distributing Green Lights in your community. The National Runaway Switchboard has created light bulb labels and posters which are customizable for your organization.

How to start a Green Light Project in your community

1. Purchase green light bulbs - these are available at most local hardware stores. If you're interested in distributing in bulk - over 120 bulbs, download an information sheet.

2. Label the Bulbs - There are general and customizable light bulb labels available to download below. You need to purchase 2"x4" labels (for example, Avery 5163/8163 Template). You can print the labels on your color printer or have them printed at a copy shop.

3. Distribute the bulbs - There are general and customizable posters below available for you to distribute with your light bulbs. You can partner with local businesses to distribute, advertise, and display green light bulbs for greater impact.

4. Tell NRS about your Project - We want to hear about your Green Light Project! Email the Outreach Coordinator to share your green light goals, successes, set-backs, and results.
