Bay Life newspaper features Empower Academy
Empower Academy is truly honored to be featured in the Bay Life Newspaper. It’s an incredible milestone that reflects the impact of our mission and the strength of our growing reputation. We're proud that our preventative curriculum is gaining recognition—not just as valuable education, but as a life-saving resource that’s empowering individuals to take control of their safety and future.
Are They Prepared?
Prepared. Aware. Empowered. Is Your Child Ready for That?
Today’s world is filled with threats that weren’t part of the conversation a generation ago. Whether it’s college campuses, public transportation, parking garages, or even seemingly quiet communities, danger doesn’t discriminate. For students stepping into adulthood, the risks are real. On college campuses alone, 1 in 3 female undergraduates will experience rape or sexual assault, a statistic that’s held steady for decades.
As parents, we invest heavily in our children’s future spending hundreds, sometimes thousands, on test prep courses, tutoring, and driver’s education to ensure they’re ready for academic and life milestones. But when it comes to preparing them for their personal safety, most parents overlook it completely. Why? Because you don’t know what you don’t know.
That’s where Empower Academy comes in. Through in-person courses, live workshops, and our comprehensive online program “Be the Hard Target,” we ensure students are prepared, informed, and capable of managing their own safety in any environment. From understanding how predators identify targets to mastering situational awareness and adopting an analytical mindset, we equip young men and women with the tools they need to take control of their own safety before a threat ever becomes reality.

Family Readiness
Mission Critical
At Empower Academy, we recognize that Family Readiness is not just important, it’s essential to mission success. When service members deploy, their ability to focus on the mission depends greatly on knowing their loved ones are safe, prepared, and supported back home. A strong, resilient family foundation allows our military to operate with confidence and clarity. Empowering families with the tools to stay aware, protected, and ready ensures the entire force remains mission capable, both at home and abroad.
When a service member deploys, their spouse and family instantly become more vulnerable, not just emotionally, but practically. Empower Academy fills that gap with real, preventative skills: situational awareness, reading body language, analytical mindset, target prevention, and understanding high-threat environments. Learn more on how Empower Academy support the Family Readiness mission.
