Sierah Strong for the Schools

Sierah Strong for the School is a free self-defense and self-awareness curriculum designed to empower young people with the knowledge and skills to help keep themselves safe. Developed alongside education leaders, the curriculum is perfect for schools, youth programs, and organizations and can be taught annually to middle and high school students. This repetitive training helps reinforce self-awareness, confidence, and self-defense skills so youth are better prepared to recognize and respond to potentially dangerous situations. Sierah Strong meets National Learning Standards and provides an accessible way to make personal safety and violence prevention part of every young person’s education.

Sierah Strong for the Community

We continue to provide Sierah Strong for the Community, a free program that empowers youth ages 6–16 with practical self-awareness, personal safety, and self-defense skills. Participants also receive a KidPrint ID, a laminated identification card featuring the child’s photo, vital information, and fingerprint—an important resource for families in the event a child goes missing. Together with Sierah Strong for the School, our programs have provided self-defense and self-awareness training to more than 9,000 youth, and we remain committed to making these lifesaving resources accessible to communities at no cost.
