Thanks to Kidpower supporters like you, students around the world have the power to take charge of their safety.
“On my way back to my dorm after studying at the library, I was nervous at every sound. I had heard stories about other girls getting attacked. In my Fullpower workshop, I discovered skills that replaced my fear with confidence. One night on my way home, a man jumped out of the bushes and tried to grab me! Without even thinking I was able to defend myself and got away. I am so grateful to Kidpower supporters like you for making it possible for me to learn these wonderful safety skills!”
– Alyssa, 20-year-old engineering student, Los Angeles, CA
