Helping Winston-Salem families build skills, confidence, and safer communities.
​SafeTogether is a community program by Outdoor Life Leadership that helps young people and families learn practical safety and outdoor skills through hands-on activities. Participants learn new skills, practice together, and build confidence they can use in everyday life.
​
Our program brings families, youth, volunteers, and community partners together to make safety education useful, welcoming, and fun.
​
Learn It. Practice It. Use It.
What Is SafeTogether?
SafeTogether helps children, youth, parents, and caregivers learn how to prepare for emergencies and handle basic outdoor tasks. Instead of only listening to a lesson, participants get opportunities to practice what they learn.
​
Our goal is to help families become more prepared, work together, and build stronger connections with their community.

Community Safety Starts With Us
Outdoor Life Leadership believes that practical skills become valuable when people have the chance to use them.
