Make Our Schools Safe (MOSS) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting students and educators, advancing school safety, promoting youth leadership, and supporting student mental wellness. Founded by Lori and Ilan Alhadeff in memory of their daughter, Alyssa, who was tragically killed in the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, MOSS works to ensure that no family, school, or community experiences a preventable tragedy.
