The Progressive Agriculture Foundation® (PAF) provides rural safety and health education for children, equipping communities with the tools, training, and resources to deliver hands-on learning that helps keep kids safer where they live, learn, and play.
Through four delivery modes, Safety Day (community-based), Safety Day (school-based), Safety Academy, and Safety Zone, PAF Coordinators lead the grassroots effort to bring safety education to life and to address local needs.
Our flagship program is recognized as the largest rural safety and health education program for children in North America, reaching youth ages 4 to 13 through engaging, age-appropriate lessons.
Since 1995, the Foundation has reached more than 2 million children and adults across 42 states, two U.S. territories, and nine Canadian provinces, delivering education across more than 30 safety and health topics through hundreds of hands-on activities and demonstrations. PAF curriculum is flexible, allowing local volunteers to tailor each program to what matters most in their area.
Together, we are helping communities build a culture of safety that lasts far beyond a single experience.
