Leaders in Prevention
The Leaders In Prevention (LIP) program brings together teams of eight middle school students and two advisors for a long weekend of activities and Action Planning with numerous other teams from across New Hampshire. Schools, after-school groups, and community organizations identify students — from all walks of life and levels of skill — with leadership potential who are capable of working as part of a team, and willing to bring new skills and energy back to their community.
Students participate in an array of learning opportunities – both within their own team and together with all of the participating teams – around topics in school climate, substance abuse prevention, and community involvement. Every participant has the opportunity to develop or expand their leadership skills, build positive relationships with their peers and youth & adult mentors, and explore new ideas to improve their schools & communities. Through this process, they learn more about themselves and each other, and about how to work effectively as a team.
The program culminates in each team designing an Action Plan for a project they will implement in their school or community.
