Where are Services Located?
KIDPOWER has active and beginning centers, offices, and representatives on Belgium, Canada including British Columbia and Quebec, Germany, India, New Zealand including the South Island and Auckland, Pakistan, Peru, Switzerland, South Africa, and the United States including California, Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Nebraska, Vermont, and Wisconsin.
We adapt our services to meet the needs of different cultures. In August, 2005, we conducted an international Reaching Out conference in Montreal to train professionals from charitable organizations serving young people who face dangerous life situations. Since then, through our Reaching Out Project, professionals from NGOs from developing countries are learning how to adapt the KIDPOWER system of teaching personal safety skills to help prevent violence and abuse for young people who are living and/or working on the street, who are being exploited because of economic vulnerability, or whose communities have been disrupted by war or natural disaster.Our instructors travel to places where we do not yet have centers. We have a comprehensive program for training new instructors and program organizers to establish services in their own communities. We also have an ongoing system for upholding quality to ensure that we sustain our commitment to excellence as we grow. We provide consultation by email and telephone to people around the world about how to use our skills to resolve specific problems.
