Programs

Safe Kids of St. Joseph County is unique in our ability to communicate prevention messages directly to kids and their families through our comprehensive national programs.

These programs, involving media events, device distribution and hands-on educational activities for kids and their families, aim to get communities across the country more involved in the safety of their children.

Buckle Up

Safe Kids Buckle Up is Safe Kids Worldwide’s child passenger safety program.

Fire Safety

The theme of this year's Fire Prevention Week is "Practice Your Escape Plan!."

 Families should not only create an escape plan, but everyone must PRACTICE the plan together. 

According to a poll by the National Fire Protection Association, the majority of Americans have a fire escape plan, but most haven't practiced it. 

From October 7-13, fire safety advocates will be spreading the word that when it comes to escape plans, practice is key.
