Exposure for missing children can be
any where a crowd may pass by.
OPERATION
LOOKOUT National Center for Missing Youth is a non-profit,
award-winning organization that provides services and referrals free of charge for
families whose children disappear prior to age 18.
The center was founded in 1984 by concerned citizens who
wanted to make the public aware of the tragedy of missing children in the Northwest.
OPERATION LOOKOUT® has since become a multi-faceted child-search
organization that handles national and international cases which include Family and
Non-Family Abduction, Unexplained Disappearance and Runaway cases. With the involvement of
law enforcement, volunteers, staff, and contributors, the center has an overall case
resolve rate of 82%.

OPERATION
LOOKOUT® is not a private investigation agency, but an organization that networks with
law enforcement officials, mental health professionals, government agencies, attorneys,
and other non-profit organizations. The
missing youth 24 hour HELPLINE, 1-800-LOOKOUT or 1-800-782-SEEK can be called to
report a missing child, for information, search assistance, advice, and sightings.
OPERATION LOOKOUT® will remain involved throughout the duration of a case until the child
is recovered and we will not close a case until authorized by law enforcement or the
searching family. There is never a fee for service.
