You can enroll in a Familypower: Introduction to Physical Self-Defense Community Workshop organized by Kidpower whenever one is open for registration on our Community Workshops page – or, you can organize one for your own group!

Community Workshops make up about 5% of our services and are open for anyone to enroll. Each has an individual per-screen enrollment cost, and we have a generous scholarship policy.

Most workshop types and topics are offered Community Workshops 1-5 times a year – and are organized much more often by people like you for their own school, agency, business, group, or community.

These privately organized workshops make up about 95% of our services. They are NOT listed on our Workshops page, because the groups themselves decide who to include.

Privately organized workshops have a per-class class, not a per-screen or per-participant cost. All costs include one-on-one email support with questions before & after the workshop and links to resources to help you & your family apply, adapt, and practice the skills.
