2015 ANNUAL REPORT
Dear Kidpower friends and supporters,
Life is better for everyone when they feel safe. It is our responsibility as adults to ensure the kids in our families, neighborhoods and
communities know what to do if their personal safety is threatened. This year, thanks to your commitment, generosity and support, nearly 2,500 children and adults received Kidpower training. This means we now have trained more than 46,000 people to take charge of their safety since Kidpower started in Colorado 22 years ago.
Kidpower skills are essential tools for everyday living. We teach skills that enable young people to communicate effectively, build healthy relationships, and advocate for themselves and others.
As a community of caring adults, we are working together to prevent and stop child maltreatment including all forms of bullying, violence, and abuse. We provide kids and their adults with knowledge and skills to be safe and to thrive.
Imagine the impact if all young people believed they could count on their adults to help.
Please consider sharing the Kidpower Protection Promise below with the kids and adults in your life:
“YOU are very important to me. If you have a safety problem, I want to know – even if I seem too busy, even if someone we care about will be upset, even if it is embarrassing, even if you promised not to tell, and even if you made a mistake. Please tell me, and I will do everything in my power to help you!”
These simple words can make a significant difference today.
Your support is so greatly appreciated,
Sincerely,
Ann-Marie ManningPresident, Kidpower Board of Directors
Jan Isaacs HenryKidpower Executive Director

2015 Kidpower workshop attendee
All Kidpower workshops give children the opportunity to practice skills through carefully structured activities and role plays using realistic, nonthreatening scenarios. These include situations with peers and adults, both strangers and people they know. Each workshop also recognizes the primacy of parents and educators as students’ most important and influential teachers.
Children and teens learn:
• to recognize and avoid potential danger; • to be safe with technology;
• to walk, stand and move with awareness and confidence;
• to deal with bullies and peer pressure and to avoid bullying others;
• to deal with emotional coercion, intimidation and bribery;
• to use their voices and their bodies to stay safe;
• how and when to set clear, strong boundaries with people they know and strangers;
• to tell an adult if they feel unsafe and to persist until they get the help they need.
• to tell an adult if someone talks about having a weapon or threatens to harm another person;

Kidpower finances at a glance
Kidpower was educational but really fun. It held the kid’s attention for the whole session. The kids learned
so much, including some topics that parents don’t always know how to bring up.
