Crossing guards

Adult crossing guards help students and families navigate difficult crossings, reducing the common barriers parents describe in allowing their children to walk and roll to and from school. The following are ways to learn more how to train as a crossing guard and implement a program. However, please make sure that any coordination is made with your local school and/or school district so that crossing guards are properly trained and approved to be out on the streets.
