What Happened
Polaris and Minnesota 4‑H have expanded their youth ATV safety education with the launch of Trailblazers, a new interactive safety adventure on CLOVER, 4‑H's online learning platform. The trail-themed digital experience introduces youth to foundational safe-riding practices through interactive choices, animated sequences, and progressive levels. Content is geared toward youth ages 10-13 but open to anyone curious about ATV safety, serving as a starting point before hands-on state-certified training.

Polaris and Minnesota 4‑H begin collaboration on youth ATV and UTV safety education
Launch of Trailblazers digital ATV safety adventure on CLOVER platform
“I’ve personally learned that ATV safety is something that needs to be taught, not assumed. It’s important to me that other youth learn ATV safety as well, so I wanted to help make it fun because when kids enjoy it, they actually remember it. That’s how you build good habits early.”
- Selecting proper gear
- Making safer decisions
- Recognizing trail signs
Polaris and Minnesota 4‑H are sharing resources and learnings to support multi-state program pilots, including current collaborations with 4‑H partners in Wisconsin and Utah. This extends responsible riding education to more youth and families beyond Minnesota.
“Trailblazers is designed to meet youth riders at the beginning of their safety journey and help build their confidence through engaging, scenario-based learning. By introducing foundational safety principles early, and in ways that reflect real riding situations, we’re helping young riders develop the habits they need to ride responsibly and safely.”
Why this matters
This initiative makes ATV safety education more accessible and engaging for young riders, aiming to build safe habits early. The partnership has already reached over 800,000 youth since 2019, and the new digital adventure is being shared with 4‑H programs in Wisconsin and Utah, extending its impact.
