Drug Abuse Resistance Education |
D.A.R.E.'s primary mission is to provide children with the information and skills they need to live drug-and-violence-free lives.
The mission is further designed to equip kids with the tools that will enable them to avoid negative influences and instead, allow them to focus on their strengths and potential.
Additionally, the D.A.R.E. program establishes positive relationships between students and law enforcement, teachers, parents, and other community leaders. Every youngster should have the opportunity to grow-up healthy, safe, secure, and equipped with the skills needed to succeed in life. Contemporary America, however, is rampant with challenges that could keep children from a positive life path. |
