School-Based Youth Prevention & Intervention Program

Our Youth Prevention & Intervention Program is designed to remove barriers, restore dignity, and support long-term success for underserved and high-need youth and their families. We serve students who often face poverty, housing instability, mental health challenges, and limited access to supportive resources—factors that significantly increase the risk of poor academic performance and substance use.

By addressing the social, emotional, and psychological root causes of these challenges, we deliver practical, evidence-based solutions that promote resilience, stability, and healthier decision-making.


Who We Serve

We provide services to 6th–12th grade students in high-need school communities across major local school districts, including:

  • Tulsa
  • Broken Arrow
  • Jenks
  • Union

Many of the youth we serve come from families experiencing economic hardship, homelessness, and unmet mental health needs.

All student services are provided at no cost, ensuring access regardless of a family’s financial circumstances.


How We Support Youth & Families

Addressing Root Causes

Rather than focusing solely on behavior, our approach addresses the underlying social and psychological factors that impact learning and decision-making. Using an evidence-based curriculum, we support students who may be coping with trauma, instability, or chronic stress—helping them build emotional resilience, self-awareness, and healthy coping skills.

Academic & Classroom Support

We work directly with schools serving underserved student populations to reduce barriers to learning by providing:

  • Classroom resources and instructional materials
  • Tutoring and academic support
  • Assistance for teachers and students navigating academic and behavioral challenges

Comprehensive Prevention Education

Our prevention services extend beyond the classroom into families and communities, particularly those with limited access to prevention resources. Services include:

  • Classroom-based prevention education
  • Family-based prevention programs in the community
  • Alcohol, drug, and tobacco education presentations
  • Interactive activities that promote healthy fun, celebrate cultural diversity, and build new strengths

Family services are also available in Spanish, ensuring culturally responsive and accessible support.

Specialized Intervention Programs

For youth facing greater risk due to mental health challenges, unstable home environments, or involvement with school discipline systems, we offer targeted intervention courses designed to help students get back on track. Focus areas include:

  • Conflict resolution and healthy decision-making
  • Reducing truancy and theft
  • Preventing drinking and driving

Our Commitment

We believe prevention works best when it is accessible, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and rooted in respect. By partnering with schools, families, and communities, we support underserved youth in overcoming barriers, reducing substance use, and building pathways to healthier futures.
