SMART Moves
The SMART Moves (Skills Mastery and Resistance Training) prevention/education
program addresses the problems of drug and alcohol use and premature
sexual activity. More than simply emphasizing a "Say No"
message, the program teaches young people how to say no by involving
them in discussion and role-playing, practicing resistance and
refusal skills, developing assertiveness, strengthening decision-making
skills and analyzing media and peer influence.
SMART Girls
SMART Girls is a health, fitness, prevention/education and self-esteem
enhancement program for girls. The program is designed to encourage
healthy attitudes and lifestyles that will enable early adolescent
girls to develop to their full potential.
Passport to Manhood
Passport to Manhood promotes and teaches responsibility while
reinforcing positive behavior in male Club members. Passport to
Manhood consists of 14 small-group sessions, each of which concentrates
on a specific aspect of manhood through highly interactive activities.
Each participant is issued his own "Passport" to underscore
the idea that he is on a journey of maturation and personal growth.
