What S.A.F.E. stands for

Each letter is a set of hands-on lessons that rotate through the year. Teens can join any quarter and build on what they learn.

S · Handle bullying and build confidence.

Solutions for conflict

Every teen deals with conflict — at school, online, at home and eventually at work. The S in S.A.F.E. gives teens the tools for adaptive, positive behavior so they can meet the demands and challenges of everyday life with a calm head and a strong sense of who they are.

What teens learn

  • How to recognize, respond to and report bullying
  • Building self-esteem, self-worth and respect for self and others
  • Talking through disagreements instead of escalating them
  • Healthy ways to manage stress — including how exercise helps you relax
  • Making positive choices at school, at work and in personal life

The result: Teens leave with practical words and strategies they can use the next time conflict shows up.

A · Prepare for college, jobs and interviews.

Access to careers

Big goals feel less overwhelming with a plan. The A opens doors to college and career opportunities through hands-on workshops that walk teens through the real paperwork, tests and conversations that come with growing up.

What teens learn

  • Getting ready for back-to-school and the first semester of a new grade or college
  • College pre-tests: SAT, ACT and CPT
  • Skills and passion assessment to discover strengths and interests
  • Filling out financial aid packets
  • Job applications, résumés and how to handle an interview
  • Work ethics and proper work attire

The result: Teens build a personal roadmap — and the confidence to take the next step.

F · Build money skills for everyday life.

Financial literacy

Money skills are life skills. The F helps teens understand how money and the working world fit together — from a first paycheck to managing time, responsibilities and people — so they can make smart decisions now and later.

What teens learn

  • Budgeting, saving and smart money habits
  • How to prepare for an income tax return
  • Self-management, problem-solving and understanding the business environment
  • Time and people management, and working well as part of a team
  • Agility and adaptability to different roles, and leading by influence
  • Respecting your boss and co-workers — and planning how you'll get to work
  • Free online webinar: building a website with WordPress

The result: Teens gain everyday money and workplace skills that set them up for independence.

E · Get work-ready and give back through service.

Employment resources

The E connects teens with employment resource services through our program and by actively collaborating with community partners. Teens also put their skills to work serving others — and earn credit hours while they do it.

What teens learn

  • Employment resource services with Triple5Teens community partners
  • Youth mentoring and other initiatives that make a difference
  • Helping feed people experiencing homelessness
  • Giving gifts to children during the holidays
  • Visiting nursing homes and joining beautification projects
  • Teen volunteering that earns community-service credit hours

The result: Teens gain real experience, references and the pride of giving back to Las Vegas.
