Rescue Youth
Prevention that reaches thousands of kids in classrooms.
Prevention at scale
Rescue Youth delivers evidence-based substance misuse prevention to more than 7,000 young people a year — in schools, after-school programs, and community settings. The curriculum is not a scared-straight assembly; it is skills: refusal, decision-making, stress, and what to do when a friend is in trouble.
For 150 students a year, after-school and summer enrichment gives the hours between 3pm and 6pm somewhere to go.
Rescue Youth works through partner schools. School staff can reach out to start a partnership.
Rescue Youth
Three ways in
01
Prevention in your school
We bring a full evidence-based curriculum to classrooms and after-school sites at no cost to the campus. Most partners start with a single grade level.
02
After-school and summer
Homework support, enrichment, meals, and field trips for 150 youth a year. Enrollment opens each spring and fills fast.
03
Family support
We work with caregivers too — because the change a young person makes rarely holds without the household.
