The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention will host an Out of the Darkness Walk on Sunday, April 13th on the Central College campus. 

The return of this event to Central has been led by Kylie Carstens, a Class of 2026 student from Lake City, Iowa. The Out of the Darkness Campus Walks are the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s signature student fundraising events, designed to engage youth, young adults and their local communities in the fight to prevent suicide, a leading cause of death for young people.

Registration and a resource fair with displays and vendors will begin at 1 pm in the Maytag Student Center. Speakers will then present information at 1:30 pm in the Van Emmerik Studio before the one-mile walk at 2 pm on campus. As a fundraising event, all individuals who raise $100 or more will receive a free Out of the Darkness Walk t-shirt.

All are welcome to participate in this walk, and can register or donate using the link here.
