YOUTH AWARENESS

Moose Lodge Youth Awareness Program

The Moose Lodge Youth Awareness Program is a dedicated initiative aimed at educating young children on critical life skills and making positive choices. Here's a summary of the program's key features:

• Educational Focus: The program covers topics such as drug and alcohol abuse, child abuse, "stranger danger," bullying and peer pressure, and healthy habits and nutrition.

• Youth Participation: High school students are organized into a speakers' bureau to present "Moose KidsTalks" to preschool and elementary school-aged children.

• Scholarship Opportunities: Participants have the chance to compete for $30,000 in college scholarships annually.

• Congress Attendance: Students attend the Association Youth Awareness Congress, where they present their "KidsTalks" and share their experiences.

• Community Impact: The program reaches an audience of over 750,000 children throughout North America.

• Support and Funding: The program is supported by donations and sponsorships, with costs covered by the sponsoring Moose Lodge and/or Women of the Moose Chapter.

  
  The Moose Youth Awareness Program is a testament to the community's commitment to youth education and the importance of positive role models in shaping young lives.
