Personal Safety Workshop
January 10, 2012
In this day
and age all youth need to learn more information about staying safe and
reducing personal risks while trying to preserve the innocence and
optimism of
childhood.
In order to
keep our children safe, the Gateway Youth Program is sponsoring a 10
week
workshop “Think First and Stay Safe” that empowers children with
personal
safety strategies for youth in grades 3, 4, and 5.
Students in the program will learn skills to
reduce their risk of being bullied or victimized, learn internet and
personal
safety and fostering self-esteem. Parents are also encouraged to attend
the
first and last group sessions.
The program
will be held on Thursdays from 4:30 to 5:30 pm at the Gateway Youth
Program
office at 116 E. Third Street in Greenville.
The classes begin on January 24 and run
through March 27, 2012. The
cost of the program is $25 per child and scholarships
are available.
