History

PRIDE Youth Programs was added in 1998 as a component of the prevention impact of SHARE Foundation because drug use is the leading cause of death for youth in our country.

At the middle school level is a program called REAL-Responsible Education for Adolescent Leaders. This program empowers students to creatively share information with peers about tobacco, alcohol and drug abuse. Teen Time is a program for secondary students and adults focusing on developing healthy lifestyles.

At the high school level we have the PRIDE program. This program encourages students to reach out to peers, younger students and the community with an assertive drug free message. High School Heroes is a Lung Association program designed to train students in grades 10-12 to conduct tobacco education programs to 5th graders.
