Students Against Destructive Decision's (SADD) Mission:
To provide students with the best prevention tools possible to deal with the issues of underage drinking, other drug use, risky and impaired driving, and other destructive decisions.
|
|
|
Originally, the mission of the SADD chapter was to help young people say "No" to drinking and driving.
|
Today, the mission has expanded...
Students have told us that positive peer pressure, role modeling and environmental strategies can prevent other destructive decisions and set a healthier, safer course for their lives. And that is why SADD has become a peer-to-peer education, prevention, and activism organization dedicated to preventing destructive decisions, particularly underage drinking, other drug use, risky and impaired driving, teen violence, and teen suicide.
Shalom specialists facilitate the SADD program in our
partnering high schools through out Philadelphia.
Their activities include arranging programs for students before proms, implementing Prom Promise Programs, supporting students in making videos, T-shirts, school presentations on making decisions that are consistent with healthy choices in their lives.
These students meet in a group setting to identify issues in their neighborhoods and schools that they would like to influence in a positive way. In individual schools they involve themselves in educating their fellow students using various modalities: health fairs, poster contests, developing video announcements for the school TV, developing video materials on healthy decisions regarding safe driving behaviors and various other projects.
