Organize a Kidpower Workshop
Join an upcoming community workshop
Our workshops are positive and upbeat.
Instead of focusing on scary “what-if” situations, our students learn and practice safety skills that can help keep them safe. Every privately organized workshop is unique. We will work together to plan a workshop for your target audience and addressing your areas of priority.
