We’re looking for students who want to make a difference in their community by raising awareness about the issue of substance misuse.

Introducing LIGHTS...CAMERA...PREVENTION!

The PROSPER Team is excited to announce Lights…Camera…Prevention! a substance misuse prevention awareness contest, open to small teams of students who are in grades 6-12. This hands-on learning opportunity challenges student teams to learn more about substance misuse issues and prevention through research, collaboration, and production of a short video and/or audio public service announcement (PSA). This is a great opportunity for students who are already part of a group, club, or organization (e.g., 4-H club, school health class, church group) or a new group of students to get together to build teamwork and leadership skills, all while competing for prizes.

This contest is designed so that youth AND communities benefit! Youth will learn about the harmful effects of substance misuse and build their audio/video production skills, with the goal of getting their final projects out into the community where their prevention-focused messages can help to increase awareness around this important issue. The PROSPER Team will support your team’s effort with resources and assistance every step of the way.
