The harmful use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs has become a major social problem in our society. We live in communities, attend schools, and work in places where the affects of addiction present serious obstacles to the health and welfare of all. Children and youth are especially vulnerable to problems associated with the harmful use of alcohol and other drugs. This is why Youth Outreach Services Prevention Programs are so important.

Our Prevention Programs provide opportunities for positive youth development through life skills training, substance abuse prevention, expressive arts and peer leadership. Services are provided through after school programs, school based classroom programs, and community-based programs.

Positive results from our Prevention Programs are:

• Increase in relationships with adult role models.
• Promotion of healthy, pro-social growth.
• Increased resistance to drug use.
• Improved academic performance.
• Opportunities for responsible involvement in the family, school and community.
