ThinkFirst for Kids is presented in a classroom format to children attending elementary school. This program is designed to teach behavioral safety to kids at an impressionable age. The research-based curriculum includes information about activities that place them at risk while teaching them the best ways to stay safe and injury free. The ThinkFirst learning experience is fun, hands-on and teaches meaningful, life-long safety habits in relation to recreation, sports, and motor vehicle use.

ThinkFirst for Youth program provides youth in fourth through eighth grade with lessons on decision making skills, a confident self image and an ability to resolve conflicts and withstand peer pressure.

ThinkFirst for Teens is a unique continuing education community outreach program that educates young people about personal vulnerability and risk taking. The message is that you can have a fun, exciting life, and you can do it without hurting yourself - if you think first and use your mind to protect your body.
