youth programs

We offer programs for older elementary kids and teens that teach skills for staying home alone, babysitting, and managing their life in general.

SAFE SITTER® CLASSES
Safe Sitter® prepares students in grades 6-8 to be safe when they’re home alone, watching younger siblings, or babysitting. Students learn life-saving skills such as how to rescue someone who’s choking, and helpful information like what to do if there’s severe weather. The lessons are filled with fun activities and role-playing exercises. Students even get to use CPR manikins to practice choking rescue.

Safe Sitter Class Content
