Classes and Community

Our commitment to the well-being of children goes beyond our walls. We connect with kids, their families and their communities by advocating for child health, offering classes on topics such as puberty and babysitting, and providing free or low-cost safety and injury-prevention gear.

  • Car crashes kill more children than any other kind of injury. Use the right car seat or booster seat to keep kids safer on the road.

  • You can prevent head injuries by making sure your child's helmet fits right.

  • Get the latest child health and safety information six times a year, free.
