STAY SHARP: SCHOOL DRUG PREVENTION PROGRAM

Interested in having Teen Challenge conduct a drug prevention program?

Our answer is STAY SHARP.

"Stay Sharp; Think About It" is a DVD that shows the reality, dangers and consequences of drug and alcohol abuse and many other cultural issues teens are facing. We use the power of personal testimony to "keep it real" by allowing our students to share their stories. To sum it up Stay S.H.A.R.P. is about Sharing Hope with At Risk People.

"Engaging youth through a visual encounter. Educating youth on current issues, including drugs, alcohol and cultural pressures. Equipping youth with hope." We feel that if we don't reach the young people of our generation and show them the right way someone else will show them the wrong way. Our vision when we come into a group of teens is to leave knowing and seeing teens make a decision to either change their life or walk away learning something."

The primary elements of the presentation are as follows:

• Introduction/ explanation of the Teen Challenge program by the Director and/or other qualified staff member. (2-3 minutes)
• DVD movie called "Think about it" with various "live" testimonies from current Teen Challenge students (30 - 40 minutes)
• Question/ Answer period at conclusion. (10-15 minutes)

COST: A voluntary donation for Teen Challenge is at the discretion of the church/school and would be most appreciated in helping us with our ongoing mission to bring this important outreach to our community. Simply put, the "Stay Sharp" educates, encourages and empowers our youth for today's world.
