Kidpower Kudos

“Kidpower is unique among child safety programs in that it is evidence-based, developmentally appropriate, and emotionally safe for young people. Kidpower instructors are highly trained, highly skilled and motivated to work with young people. The Colorado Springs Police Department has enjoyed a long and mutually beneficial partnership with Kidpower of Colorado.”

"What is Kidpower’s effect in my school? Empowered children. Empowered to stand against bullies because they have been given the vocabulary to do so. Empowered to stand against predatory adults because they have the awareness to do so—as did the young boy last year who he shouted ‘No!' and fled back to our school from an adult closing in on him. Empowered to stand together as they move on into middle school, with the fully developed expectation that people respect and protect themselves and each other. Kidpower has been a major partner here in preparing our children internally, systemically, against the risk factors in an increasingly risky world. These people are smart, loving, appropriate, and powerful for kids."

"Big Brothers Big Sisters is thrilled to have a partnership with Kidpower. Child safety is our number one priority, and no one does a better job of child safety training and empowerment than Kidpower."

“Kidpower has worked with Early Connections for over 10 years and is a valuable partner in supporting the safety of children in the Colorado Springs community.”

“Kidpower ‘s teaching is particularly valuable to children in disadvantaged circumstances as well as people with disabilities and survivors of violence in its many forms. Kidpower is really human power, put to its very best use.”

"Kidpower of Colorado Springs worked with our chapter to customize their outstanding curriculum to the needs of students who are deaf or hard of hearing. They added even more visual cues, incorporated interpreters, and edited scenarios so that our kids could definitely relate to the role plays. Parents were so pleased to see their children be able to confidently draw boundaries in class, and I know that practice will be reinforced at home to help keep kids safe. I would highly recommend Kidpower classes to any group of kids!"

"The self-awareness and capacity building Kidpower affords to children fosters safety and empowerment. We are lucky to have Kidpower in our community."

“Children with disabilities, in the overall child population, are at a greater risk for abuse and neglect. Kidpower’s training has given our Zach’s Place Program staff the tools they need to help children with disabilities practice personal safety in their day to day activities. We are amazed to see the increase in safety awareness that the children have for themselves and for each other.”

“Kidpower works tirelessly to empower children, laying the foundation for safe, healthy, positive relationships. Thank you, Kidpower!”
