Parents sign a pledge that they will chaperon all teen gatherings in their homes and that drugs and alcohol will not be available at those gatherings. Participating families receive a directory of all Safe Homes families supporting the program. Parents are urged to use this directory to verify the occasion and location of teen parties and to network with other parents who share the same values in regard to drug and alcohol use. Safe Homes families also receive periodic newsletters with the latest information on drugs and alcohol, legislative up-dates, and items or events of interest. The Drug Quiz Show is for middle school-aged students who volunteer, in teams of four to study packets of information on alcohol, drugs, and adolescent issues.
Students take part in intra-school or agency competitions to determine a representative team.
Winning students from those competitions participate in a day-long competition to determine a champion team which wins a Night on the Town, complete with limousine service. The Drug Quiz Show is a fun and exciting program which educates students about the dangers of drugs and alcohol through accurate, age-appropriate information. Peer leaders are available to make presentations to school and community groups. Teammates offers the families of the Southern Tier the opportunity to spend a day together learning new skills and exploring our local resources which support families in raising drug free kids.
