“Kidpower services are strategically aligned with the needs of our youth, who deserve self-protection skills – so they are more prepared to take charge of their safety in age-appropriate ways in the face of bullying, harassment, discrimination, and threats to their physical and emotional safety – and who also deserve safety leadership and advocacy skills they can use in their civic and community efforts as citizens, student leaders, clients, and consumers in legal, medical, legislative, educational, and other community contexts.”
