More Detail

Safe Steps Youth Workshop is a practical, upbeat class that gives young people the tools to make safe choices, speak up, and support friends. Through interactive demos, short role‑plays, and guided discussion, participants learn how to read situations without panic, set clear boundaries, handle peer pressure, and navigate public spaces and the internet more safely.

We focus on real‑life scenarios—after‑school hangouts, transit, group chats, parties, and team activities—and practice simple phrases and steps that work. Students leave with a personal safety plan, a list of trusted resources, and the confidence to use their voice.
