Are you interested in adding high demand courses to your current curriculum, and increase revenue with very little investment?

If so, join with SOS First Aid, Southern Ontario’s first choice in child safety courses, by enrolling in our Partnership Program.

Qualified Program Partners can bring our innovative and engaging safety programs to children aged 7 – 12 in their community. Our programs are current, easy to understand, and use digital media to engage children in an effective manner.

Great Partnership Programs

We offer two great kids safety programs to our Qualified Partners:

  • Personal Safety for Kids 7 – 9 offers children the skills and confidence to make smart decisions and avoid situations that might put their safety at risk. We cover more than just basics, by including online and offline people safety, smart decision-making, strategies for getting help, dealing with bullies, handling emergencies, and fire and travel safety. 
  • Home Alone Safety for Kids is a comprehensive safety program that prepares children aged 9 – 12 to be on their own, at home or elsewhere, for short periods of time. In addition to the traditional content offered in a home alone course, we also include Internet safety, street smarts, online and offline people safety, first aid & injury prevention, fire safety, and a step-by-step home alone readiness plan for parents and children.
