Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Youth Development
Mission: The mission of missouri safe and sober is to deliver outcome-based educational programs designed to empower young people to make safe choices.
Programs: During the 2017-2018 school year, safe and sober provided a free, video-based program to 462 missouri middle and high schools with more than 160,000 students. Students watch a video designed to show the consequences of underage drinking and drunk driving. Students are then asked to sign a pledge to remain safe and sober. Positive peer pressure and support from parents and teachers holds students accountable and creates a culture of change within each school. In the fall of 2016, the organization also launched a drug prevention program. This video is designed to teach students the dangers of using illegal prescription drugs and driving under the influence of drugs. Safe and sober primarily operates from revenue from private donors and a state highway safety grant.
