ATV Safety

Overview

• ATV Fact Sheet (coming soon)
• Volunteer Opportunities

Kentucky 4-H believes that all youth should have opportunities for positive youth development in our four guiding concepts:  mastery, belonging, independence, and generosity.  This project fosters mastery by increasing awareness of ATV safety gear, pre-ride checks, and fit guidelines by community learners and ASI Rider Course participants as well as increasing rider knowledge and skills for using ATVs; Belonging by encouraging youth to work together with other youth and adults to develop safe and environmentally friendly riding practices; Independence by teaching the skills necessary to determine correct ATV sizing choices and the understanding of safe riding practices; and Generosity by promoting the reduction and prevention of ATV related injury and mortality through 4-H Community Education and State 4-H Rider Course initiatives.  Contact your county extension office for more information (link).
