PROJECT SUMMARY FOR 98-JN-FX-0067 (S-4)
People Reaching Out, Inc. (PRO) is a nationally recognized substance abuse prevention organization award winner that targets various aspects of a youth's life, that includes peer, school, family and community factors. PRO proposes to increase knowledge of the risks associated with substance abuse and the harmful effects of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco, while reducing the use of these substances by youth. Year five will be a continuation of PRO's mission to assist youth to make better personal decisions to address negative peer pressure, strengthen families by providing access to prevention methods, and to target multiple domains of the youth's life. PRO will increase the awareness of the social influences that promote drug use and disseminate information about effective substance abuse reduction strategies and initiatives for youth through its comprehensive programs. The activities are designed to impact outcomes, such as to decrease the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs by youth, and further the development of a self-sustaining coalition in Carmichael, CA.
