Safety first.Every lawn. Every time.
Review the safety video and gear together before heading out to serve. A parent or guardian helps choose the right task and equipment.
Serve safely.
A few minutes for a safer day.
Watch our safety video with a parent or guardian before beginning the challenge.
Match the task to your child.
Every child and every yard are different. Before agreeing to help, consider your child’s abilities, experience, and comfort level, along with the yard’s size, condition, slopes, and the equipment needed.
If a yard or task feels like too much for your child, it is okay to decline. Choose work they can manage safely, stay involved, and stop if conditions become unsafe. There is no need to take on every request—your child’s safety comes first.

Choose safe conditions.
Use daylight and dry conditions. Follow mower-specific slope limits and directions.
Keep guards in place.
Check safety devices. Keep hands and feet clear of blades and discharge.
Stop before you step away.
Switch off; wait for movement to stop. Let an adult handle unclogging and adjustments.
No passengers.
Do not carry child passengers. Avoid reversing; check behind if necessary.
Handle fuel carefully.
Fuel outside after cooling. Run gasoline engines only outdoors.
Wear your shirt. Share the good.
Your official program T-shirt is required while serving. It identifies your child as part of the challenge and helps us share the mission when we celebrate their good work.
Need another shirt? Just ask!
Need a replacement or an extra shirt? Contact our team with your child’s name, shirt color, size, and mailing address.
Check gear fit with a parent or guardian and follow your equipment’s instructions. This clothing guide does not replace adult supervision or equipment-specific safety guidance.
