Urban Walk Leader: Pedestrian Safety Training Seminar - Online - Online Classroom

This seminar is for hike leaders who are interested in leading Urban Walks and earning the Pedestrian Safety Skills Badge, and/or an Urban Walk Leader Badge and individuals interested in learning about pedestrian safety and/or earning the Pedestrian Safety Kills Badge. The session will focus on preparing leaders to lead Urban Walks that anticipate and manage risks and opportunities unique to leading activities in the urban and suburban settings.

A portion of the session is dedicated to reviewing, real-life, pedestrian safety scenarios typical of those that Urban Walk Leaders may encounter. A collection of reference materials for use by prospective Urban Walk leaders will be provided by email. Participants are encouraged to review these documents before the seminar.

The Pedestrian Safety Skills Badge requires attendance at this seminar and a passing score of 80% or better on a short quiz administered after the seminar.
