On Your Own: Safety & Confidence for Life’s Next Chapter
Whether it’s college, travel, a first job, or just more time away from home — stepping into independence brings both excitement and new challenges. On Your Own is a personal safety class designed to help teens build confidence, set boundaries, and know what to do when something doesn’t feel right.
