Annual Report 2008-2009
Despite a challenging economy, Kidpower has continued to provide exceptional services that have changed many thousands of lives by giving people the tools they need to build healthy relationships and to protect their emotional and physical safety.
Our Annual Report for the July 1, 2008 – June 30, 2009 fiscal year includes:
Overview of our Accomplishments
- Internationally, Kidpower served an estimated 50,000 children, teens, and adults, including those with special needs, through our People Safety skills workshops, parent education, training of professionals, and educational resources. Over 20,000 of these people were served through direct workshops and over 30,000 were served by access to our educational resources. Of these people, over 20,000 were in California, and the rest were in different locations around the US and the world.
- We created new curriculum and publications to provide additional tools for educators and parents so they can teach Kidpower skills on their own as well as a pilot program for police officers.
- We conducted an international training program for candidates wishing to become certified as instructors; a conference to celebrate our 20th anniversary; and a training of trainers program to prepare very experienced instructors to train people locally.
- We made significant progress in implementing our Capacity-Building Plan so that we can greatly expand our services and build a strong sustainable infrastructure to support our organization into the future.
