SPORT is all about teaching youth how to make positive, healthy decisions and reducing risk.
As peer educators, we meet with Debbie and Kellie twice a month to learn about various ways to take care of ourselves. SPORT is a comfortable place to be! We know we can come to SPORT and talk about anything, and we do!
Some of the important topics we learn about are:
• how to quit using tobacco products
• how to help others to stop using tobacco products
• how to protect ourselves from teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV
• how to set personal limits and boundaries
• how to set goals and how to work towards achieving those goals
* how to communicate better with parents, peers, teachers and community
• how to succeed academically
We learn that we can do anything we set our minds to doing!
We learn that college IS a possibility! As Margaret Mead said:
"Never Doubt That A Small Group Of Thoughtful, Committed Citizens
Can Change The World".
SPORT gives us
* opportunities to get involved with our communities by engaging in Community Service
Projects and doing outreach activities.
* opportunties to make decisions about our own program through
involvement in our Youth Advisory Council.
In SPORT, learning is fun! We learn by doing fun things such as indoor
rock climbing, playing board games that are related to teen issues, hiking,
having pot luck dinners and family picnics, and family fun days.
