For Churches
Peer-led substance prevention for youth groups, confirmation classes, and faith communities.
Teens listen to teens
Youth groups know it too — the message lands differently when it comes from someone your age. Our trained student presenters talk honestly about vaping, alcohol, and drugs with your youth group, in a format built on real conversation instead of lectures.
Prevention fits naturally alongside what faith communities already value: looking out for one another, making choices you can stand behind, and caring for the people around you.
What a session includes
- Honest, age-appropriate facts on vaping, alcohol & drugs
- Real-world scenarios your youth actually face
- Practiced refusal skills — saying no with confidence
- Interactive activities and open Q&A
- Take-home resources for youth and parents
Bringing ESCAPE to your congregation
Quick consult
A short conversation about your youth group's needs and any topics you want emphasized — or avoided.
We present
Student presenters run a 30–60 minute interactive session, supervised by our adult advisors and your youth leaders.
Follow-up
Take-home materials and resource links for youth and parents, so the conversation continues after we leave.
