My Nonprofit Reviews

I just took my 8th grader to a middle school self-defense class at the Decatur Police Dept. put on by Revved Up Kids. They do training starting at 5 years old through high school, I think sometimes college. The training was EXCELLENT, and I was taking notes on my phone through the whole thing. My daughter and about 40-50 kids participated while parents sat and observed and learned. The instructor was WONDERFUL, she looked like she could have been anyone's mom, and was accessible and funny and kept the kids really engaged. She gave out a lot of information in the 2-hour class, and the kids had a chance to try different self-defense moves against dummies for at least half of it. They will work with any school, congregation, youth group, scouts, etc. to provide trainings. There were both boys and girls there and I could tell they were learning something they didn't know. Totally worth the $25 charge through the DPD (not sure if it was subsidized by DPD). I think they also offered classes through DPD for younger and older ages. Wanted to share and highly recommend this program.
