The Home Alone Program is designed to provide children (grades 5+) with the necessary skills and knowledge to be safe and responsible when home alone for short periods of time. It will help them understand how to prevent problems, handle real-life situations, and keep them safe and constructively occupied.

The program focuses on small group discussions, problem solving, role-playing, and instructor-led demonstrations. The course is approximately 3 hours in length and the material covers such topics as establishing a routine, house key responsibility, strangers, emergencies, basic first aid, and internet safety.

Virtual and in-person course dates are coming soon! To sign up for the waitlist, please contact gcextendedlearning@mun.ca.
