What is radKids?

The radKids program is providing children with hope and practical skills to RECOGNIZE, AVOID, and ESCAPE violence and abuse. Through the radKids training children become empowered learning to replace the fear, confusion, and panic of daily situations with confidence, personal safety skills, and self esteem.

Heroes as young as five years old, have escaped the realities of abduction, bullying, child abuse, sexual assault, and manipulation. In all of these incidents the children used tools, options, and abilities they acquired in radKid training to escape their attackers and return safely to loved ones.

We encourage you to take a few minutes to explore the radKids website and review our brochure in .pdf format
