In collaboration with the Panhandle Area Educational Consortium, this project aimed to prevent juvenile delinquency among high-risk youth at Graceville High School in Graceville, Florida. This multi-faceted primary prevention project included implementing the Too Good for Drugs program; creating an after school program for youth with mentoring and life skills development; holding parenting classes using the Active Parenting and Guiding Good Choices curricula; developing a social norming campaign to prevent alcohol, tobacco, and drug use; implementing the Green Dot violence prevention program; and hosting summer enrichment trips.
This project was sponsored by the State of Florida, Department of Juvenile Justice, as part of their Invest in Children contract.
