You do not have to be a professional counselor or experienced teacher to build meaningful relationships with youth; you just have to care about them. The following activities were designed for ordinary adults who work with ordinary youth.
We encourage you to integrate into each session the principles, personalities and events of your tradition and the youth you serve. We hope you find the activities to be a refreshing starting point for your ongoing efforts to guide young people toward wise decisions and a healthy, drug-free life.
