Progressive Agriculture Safety Day™ demonstrates the importance of agricultural industries and its safety standards in Clarion, Forest, and Venango Counties.
Keystone SMILES Community Learning Center teams up with Progressive Agriculture Foundation to provide annual safety days for second graders who attend public and private schools. The program relies on 100 volunteers and local cash donations and a sponsor letter writing campaign.
Please consider donating to keep children educated and our mission of preventing future accidents.
A Community Effort in Safety
An average of 406 volunteers are needed to provide 3,936 hours of service to plan, prepare, and implement this annual event. Each year an average of 880 students attend the two day event from Clarion, Venango, and Forest public and private schools.
