D.A.R.E. Goes Way Beyond Drug &
Alcohol Prevention

Since its inception in 1983, the D.A.R.E. program has continuously responded to the most important challenges facing our children.  While D.A.R.E. remains the largest and most comprehensive anti-drug, alcohol, and violence education program in the world, D.A.R.E is also tackling major problems facing our children including abuse of prescription drugs, bullying, and internet safety through special supplemental curricula.  No other organization offers such comprehensive educational lessons.

A D.A.R.E Student’s Own Words… My DARE Officer has inspired my class and has made us really think. I mean we never even thought about any of this stuff before because we were too involved in our lives. But, this stuff really happens to a lot of people. My DARE teacher has taught us right from wrong. Many people don't want the program to end. It is so great for my classmates and I. So I thank my DARE Officer—I LOVE DARE!
