Safety Ambassador Program
Outstanding Community Service Award: RWJ Safety Ambassador Program 2016-2017
Safety Ambassador Program
Students Teaching Students About Safety
The Safety Ambassador Program was conceived in 2008, when just five Middlesex
County school districts participated. Since then we have grown to include
23 high schools and 26 elementary schools across the County. The Safety
Ambassador Program teaches juniors and seniors about injury prevention
and related safety strategies. These high school leaders then educate
1st and 2nd graders in their district about these topics in an effort
to increase safe behaviors and decrease traumatic injuries.
The Safety Ambassador Program provides numerous opportunities for improving
presentation skills, leadership development, and promoting teamwork. But,
most importantly, it can help save lives! For more information on how
to get your school involved in this exciting county wide program, please
