DescriptionPlease join us September 30 or October 1, 2009 in Kearney, NE for the ESU 10 Youth Congress with Rock In Prevention.  These fun, action-packed workshops are sure to get you on your feet and Rockin’!
Rock In Prevention will be working with students grades 7-12 from districts all throughout ESU 10.  The goal of the Congress is to provide students with information about drugs/alcohol and school violence.  School teams then create an action plan to take the information back to their districts and make a difference. 
Rock In Prevention (Rock) teaches children health and wellness, personal and social skills, parental involvement, drug awareness, mentoring, character education, anger management, problem solving and violence prevention to help children improve academic achievement and live to their fullest potential. Rock uses music and the arts to reach the hearts and minds of children to help them make positive, healthy, life choices and improve school and community climate.   Rock In Prevention workshops are 100% interactive and peer-led.  Rock will train 15-30 local high school role models who then with Rock staff will provide uplifting and positive workshops with students in grades K-8.  The students will learn age-appropriate skills and will be provided with a working knowledge of the skills taught through skill practice.
The high school mentors provide local “real life” role modeling and share leadership, sports, hobbies, vocal and instrumental music, student government and other activities as fun alternatives to the self-destructive choices of drug use.
