Because we care
Kids today grow up in a complex and confusing world. Through television, movies, music, and most of all, peers, our kids are exposed to drugs at a very early age.
They're our kids....our future. And we want their futures to be bright, secure, healthy and safe.
That's why we care. That's why there is D.A.R.E.
To believe in themselves.
D.A.R.E. teaches our children-from kindergarten through high school-not to just refuse drugs, but how to do it.
The solution is education. D.A.R.E. gives our children the tools they need to resist drugs and make the right choices. D.A.R.E. sends a highly-trained police officer into classrooms to teach students how to refuse drugs and alcohol.
By getting the message from a street-wise law enforcement officer-one who's been out there and knows how drugs and alcohol can destroy lives-kids take the message seriously.
The 
Difference. An investment in your community's future.
