🚲 Every ride is a chance to build safer habits.

This #WorldBicycleDay, we’re encouraging youth to ride smart: wear a helmet, stay visible, stay alert, and follow the rules of the road. Small actions can make a big difference.

🔐 Safe habits start with conversations.

June 1–7 is #GunStorageCheckWeek, led by our partner, NSSF.

At #PAF, firearm safety is one of our 30+ hands-on safety topics and we’re proud to support efforts that encourage proactive conversations around safety and prevention.

What does impact look like?

85% of parents say their child will adopt at least one safe behavior after a PAF Safety Day (2026 responses so far).

That’s impact that lasts.

The moments you don’t see matter too.

Behind every Safety Day are volunteers making it all happen—preparing, organizing, supporting.

— Michael Henning, PAF Volunteer

Safety starts with awareness and grows through conversation.

After learning about dangerous plants, students started scanning their surroundings on their own.

“One of the many success stories… was when the youth participants started using the skills they learned instantly.”
— Emma Martin, PAF Coordinator

That’s how impact grows.

From classroom to real life.

Students learned animal safety before a livestock show & every student stayed safe. No injuries or incidents. PAF Coordinator Emilou Spurill reflects on how rewarding it was to see students apply safety lessons they learned in a real-world setting.

“Being in the know means being safe where you go.”

— Diana Householder, #PAF Volunteer

For Diana, volunteering is about more than teaching safety. It’s about giving youth the knowledge they need to navigate everyday life with confidence.

Students immerse their hands in ice-cold water to spell “#hypothermia,” feeling its effects firsthand. This unforgettable experience drives home the seriousness of #watersafety and highlights the importance of #handson safety education for kids.
