YOU CAN for Educators

The YOU CAN School Program gives students easy-to-understand messages and concrete steps they can use to solve problems and take control of their lives. Our presentations present new options and motivate students to make good choices.

The goal of the YOU CAN School program is to put students in contact with real-life role models who can give them essential skills, shift their thinking, and help them make wise decisions—now and throughout their lives.

The presentations are grouped thematically into four topic areas:

• The Health & Social Well-being presentations provide down-to-earth suggestions for staying safe and healthy, and learning how to get along with others.
• The Life Betterment & Career Preparation presentations give students practical tips and suggestions for developing life skills they can use now and that they will need after graduation.
• Discovery presentations help students understand what it means to be American and how Americans relate to the rest of the world.
• The Disaster Preparedness series shows students what they can do to stay safe when disasters occur.
