 The Olympian Safety Program teaches skills to heighten kids' awareness about safety at home, in school, on the internet, and in the community. Another important aspect of our program is educating kids about the different types of bullying, conflict resolution, the dangers of drugs, the myths and facts about sexual assault, the consequences of gang violence and simple practical self-defense techniques that works!
Our intention is not to instill fear, but to provide effective and empowering safety techniques to raise kids’ awareness so that they make safe choices. If we can help to protect one child each year, we've met our goal. Of course, the prevention of harm to all children is the ultimate goal.
Education in prevention is the key to a safer way of life. If children have the knowledge to make informed decisions or know what to do in a potentially difficult situation, their chances of being injured, bullied, joining a gang or becoming a target of sexual assault decreases tremendously.
