The Best of America is Golden Key's national alcohol and drug abuse prevention program directed at school aged youth in the United States. The goal of the program is to educate children that consuming alcohol before the legal drinking age or using illicit drugs is harmful and illegal and that young people have choices which will affect the quality of their lives now and in the future. Golden Key members, student athletes and other college students make presentations in area primary and secondary shcools and serve as positive role models for children.
Volunteers emphasize goal setting, decision making, life planning and the value of an education.
Presentations also include the distribution of educational literature and resource materials to students and school officials.
