These are a few statements from youth who have participated in some of our classes.
"Thank you. I used to smoke weed, do inhalants, drink and smoke tobacco. This class (Project Alert) has totally turned my life around, I'm doing better in school and at home and I haven't smoked/drank or did drugs."
“My attitude towards the people who make me mad changed how I just tell them what bothers me and I don’t get upset so fast anymore. I have really grown; this group helped me a lot.”
“This class (A Second Look Drug Education Series) has taught me a lot and I’m glad I could experience all of this.”

Cause for Concern: National Study Shows Reversal in Decade-Long Declines in Teen Abuse of Drugs and Alcohol
After a decade of consistent declines in teen drug abuse, a new national study released today by the Partnership for a Drug-Fee America and MetLife Foundation points to marked upswings in use of drugs that teens are likely to encounter at parties and in other social situations.
According to the 2009 Partnership Attitude Tracking Study (PATS), sponsored by MetLife Foundation, the number of teens in grades 9-12 that used alcohol in the past month has grown by 11 percent (from 35 percent in 2008 to 39 percent in 2009), past year Ecstasy use shows a 67 percent increase (from 6 percent in 2008 to 10 percent in 2009) and past year marijuana use shows a 19 percent increase (from 32 percent in 2008 to 38 percent in 2009).
