Tualatin Together has adapted the National Safety Town Center curriculum for our community and will provide Tualatin's inaugural Safety Town in July 2024. Safety Town Tualatin’s Goal is to create foundational safety habits for rising kindergarteners and first graders to use at home, school, and/or community spaces.
Safety Town is a 1 week, half day camp for rising kindergarteners and first graders that teaches basic safety lessons. Safety Town uses guest presentations, songs, dance, crafts, and hands-on experiences to teach students basic safe practices with fire, pedestrian, bikes, traffic, buses, water, poison, and emergency preparedness. Safety Town will be overseen and administered by Tualatin Together and will employ middle and high school students from our community to serve as counselors and junior counselors.
Tualatin Together is a non-profit organization that has served Tualatin since 1990. Tualatin Together’s primary focus is to prevent youth consumption of marijuana, alcohol, tobacco, vaping and other high-risk activities that prevent them from living to their full potential. To do this, they teach resilience, facilitate positive mental health norms, build coping skills, recognize and address trauma, and provide resources and events in our community that support positive youth development.
