Developing a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle starts at a young age. The SMART programs help our members resist alcohol, tobacco, drug use, and premature sexual activity. Based on proven teaching techniques, the program is designed to increase peer support, enhance life skills, build resiliency, and strengthen leadership skills. The SMART programs include SMART Kids for ages 6-9, Start SMART for ages 10-12, Stay SMART for ages 13-15, and SMART Parents. The ultimate goal is to promote responsible behavior.
Adolescent girls in our society face a multitude of temptations and unique problems that require special support. SMART Girls is a health, fitness, prevention/education, and self-esteem program for girls ages 10-15. Healthy attitudes and lifestyles will help our girls develop to their full potential.
Act SMART is an HIV/AIDS prevention and education program for members between ages 6-17. The joint project with the American Red Cross aims to protect our youth from unhealthy choices.
