Refuse To Be A Victim for High School and College Students

This will be a version of Refuse To Be A Victim specifically oriented at helping high school and college age young adults learn what they can do to stay safe as they go off on their own, many for the first time in their lives.

The class description:

Are your kids spending more time on their own now that they or their friends can drive? Are they heading off to college or moving out on their own? Give them the knowledge and confidence to keep themselves safe wherever they are. Students will learn how to avoid trouble and, in the unlikely event they are faced with a situation, options for dealing with it whether it's on campus, traveling to or from school or work, or running errands. Youth will leave with confidence and an increased awareness of their environment.

This class is offered through the Lakeville MN Community Education program and will be shortened to 3 hours focusing primarily on the safety topics most relevant to the intended student age group of  grades 11 through age 21.

 You can register by following this link, then select "Personal Enrichment," and locate it under the title"Refuse To Be a Victim." Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way for me to directly link you to the program's registration page.
