Polaris and Minnesota 4-H Launch Interactive ATV Safety Program

The program, hosted on the 4-H CLOVER learning portal, utilizes animated scenarios and progressive map levels to simulate real-world riding conditions. By involving youth in the development process, the creators ensured the curriculum resonates with its target audience. Rebecca Anderson, a Minnesota 4-H ATV Safety Ambassador, noted that the platform aims to replace passive instruction with active engagement, helping children retain critical safety habits by making the process inherently enjoyable.

This digital initiative serves as a gateway to more rigorous hands-on training and official certification through the ATV Safety Institute. Korinne Caldwell, a safety manager and instructor at Polaris, emphasized that the digital tool is intended to build rider confidence early. The launch represents a significant expansion of a partnership that began in 2019, which has already reached over 800,000 youth through regional fairs, safety clinics, and expanded educational curricula. The collaboration is now extending its reach beyond Minnesota, with pilot programs currently underway in Wisconsin and Utah to standardize responsible riding education across state lines.
