Mission
Kidpower works in communities in the United States and around the world to offer a wide range of violence prevention and self-esteem building workshops with people of all ages. The goal of the organization is to teach people of all ages, abilities, and walks of life to use their power to stay safe, act wisely, and believe in themselves in order to decrease incidents of violence and abuse.
Kidpower works off of five fundamental beliefs: 1) Feeling safe is a fundamental right, not a privilege. 2) Everyone can learn how to become safer and more confident. 3) Providing services to people of all ages, abilities, and walks of life, especially children and youth in need is of utmost importance. 4) Positive, experiential success-based learning is the key to helping people learn to keep themselves safe. 5) Integrity, excellence, and safety are the foundation of everything Kidpower does.

Famous quotes containing the word mission:
“Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“Not in vain is Ireland pouring itself all over the earth. Divine Providence has a mission for her children to fulfill; though a mission unrecognized by political economists. There is ever a moral balance preserved in the universe, like the vibrations of the pendulum. The Irish, with their glowing hearts and reverent credulity, are needed in this cold age of intellect and skepticism.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
“The mission of men there seems to be, like so many busy demons, to drive the forest all out of the country, from every solitary beaver swamp and mountain-side, as soon as possible.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
