Youth Empowered.
Minutes
Empowering our Youth is about giving them skills and knowledge to be safe for life. It teaches people to understand that the majority of people are good but there are those out there that may want to cause harm. The aim being to inform and empower our youth not instill fear in the heads.
With over 90 percent of offenders known to the youth or the youth’s family, the old adage of Stranger Danger simply does not apply. Making youth fearful of strangers when they might need to ask one for help, is a mistake and can actually make them more vulnerable. Empowerment and confidence are the main messages of this course, not mystery and mistrust.
Just normal clothes but make sure it is something you don’t mind being pulled around a bit. We recommend ‘gym-type’ clothing and training shoes. Bring a drink bottle.
