Review for CHOICES Education Group, Seattle, WA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have followed the activities of CHOICES since it was founded in 1985. Since that time over six million students have received the CHOICES message of how the choices they make today can have a profound effect for the rest of their lives. Students hear it and 88% approve of it while 97% of their teachers agree.

A program that has 140 sites in 38 states sounds like it might be expensive. At $4.86 per student it is not. The reason it is not is that a great many volunteers deliver the message because they feel it is very compelling and very necessary.

The National Chamber of Commerce agrees with them in as much as a few years ago it selected CHOICES as one of five finalists in their search for the best Community Based Programs in the country.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Search for ways to reach more children with the CHOICES message.
