Local experts will provide interactive training on basic safety and emergency preparedness beneficial for youth who stay home alone without adult supervision or babysit younger children.

Participants will also learn to prepare quick and easy nutritious snacks and meals, bust boredom without technology, and better understand how to manage parent and adult expectations with positive character.
