Steered Straight is much more than a visit – our “Back to the Classroom” year-long curriculum sets our program apart. The program kicks off with a dynamic presentation given by skilled, motivational speakers with real-life experience and poignant stories of consequence. We compliment the message with a daily, weekly, and monthly collection of education, interactive exercises, and prevention material. What audience members will gain from these seminars and presentations: Better understanding about consequences of negative choices Thought provoking lessons about the lasting effects of poor decisions Real-life examples of consequences and poor choices Message resonates long after the assemblies and presentations are over We deliver a message that will help children, especially teenagers, to: Question their assumptions about bullying, gangs, drug use and crime Analyze the social norms of the peers around them Develop a self-paradigm to live by rather than the social mirror so many of them use to gauge their direction Learn to rationally and intelligently make the right life choices
