Kidpower offers comprehensive safety education programs in several formats. Kidpower values collaboration and is proud to have partnered with more than 200 agencies, organizations and schools in our community.What happens in these programs? Young people learn simple, effective "People Safety" skills. "People Safety" refers to people being emotionally and physically safe, both with themselves and others. Instead of using fear to teach children about safety, Kidpower makes it fun to learn how to be safe.Successful practice in age-appropriate role-plays can prepare young people to build stronger relationships, increase confidence, advocate for themselves and others, manage difficult situations and reduce their risk of bullying, abuse and abduction. Kidpower also helps open the lines of communication between kids and their trusted adults so they can get the help they need and adults are given tools to respond to their children.Every child and teen can benefit from Kidpower and Teenpower programs. Kidpower programs are developmentally and culturally appropriate. Kidpower classes locally have been delivered in English, Spanish and Sign Language.
