About Energy Safe Kids
Energy Safe Kids is a program of the National Energy Foundation. Funded in partnership with Southwest Gas.
The mission of Energy Safe Kids is to cultivate energy literacy by promoting the safe and wise use of electricity and natural gas. An Energy Safe Kid will Think! about energy issues, Talk! to adults about those issues and Take Action! when needed.
In the spirit of our mission of promoting energy related education and awareness in our communities, the National Energy Foundation (NEF), in partnership with Southwest Gas, is pleased to provide the Energy Safe Kids program and this collection of outstanding instructional materials.

What Others Are Saying About Us
Students will greatly benefit from being energy-safe kids, and all the information they learn can be shared with their family as well. I will link some of the activities to our classroom portal.
Elementary Teacher
This was great information. Some of our parents had no idea themselves. Thanks for making our families more aware.
Classroom Educator
We continue to talk about using energy safely. The program is engaging and meaningful for the students and they understand more about energy safety afterwards. Some families rely on the schools to teach their children about safety and so a program like this one is invaluable. The mercaptan stickers are always a hit with students. The stinky smell is memorable and gives them a great conversation starter for when the get home!
