• Positive Action–school based curriculum helping youth make healthy choices.
• Positive Youth Development–giving youth positive opportunities for fun and learning.
• Awareness–educating the community about the dangers of underage drinking and substance abuse.
• Community Mobilizing–organizing the community to change policies, attitudes, and behaviors regarding alcohol & drugs.
