Drug Prevention

Safe Harbor produces this interactive program for all community 6th graders to learn about drug awareness and prevention.

Students learn to recognize drugs and their dangers, how drugs effect the body and brain, and the impact drugs have on peers, family, and the community. This unique event uses best practices in drug prevention in youth ages 11-12. With the help of 60+ parent volunteers, as well as the Police and Fire Departments, Sharp Coronado Hospital, and school counselors and principals, this popular half-day event takes place each year at Coronado Middle School. In addition, a parent workshop is provided for follow up questions and comments.

Drug Prevention Volunteer Roles

Scene Captain - (Must attend orientation) Scene captains support the professionals in their assigned scene or station throughout the program. They are in charge of straightening up the scene chairs or areas if necessary before each new group begins. Scene captains also remain in communication with scene timers for start time, end time and all other time notifications. Scene Timer - (Must attend orientation) Scene timers are in charge of responding to the scene captain when notified to prompt the actor to start the scene. Scene timers remain in the back of their assigned scenes and hold up time signs for actors to see. Scene timers are responsible for timing each scene to the assigned master schedule, regardless of any time differences that occur from early or late start times, they keep the event running on time and smoothly. Ushers - (Must attend orientation) Ushers ensure the proper flow of groups from one scene to the next scene. Ushers are responsible for directing groups to their next location and ensuring that students in earlier scenes do not inadvertently view any of the materials, props or professionals in any later scenes. Set Up Crew - Volunteers are needed to help for approximately 2 hours the afternoon before the Drug Prevention to help rearrange classrooms, line up chairs, and set up each of the scenes and activities. (3:30-5:00pm) Take Down Crew - we need volunteers to help for approximately 30 minute after the Drug Prevention to put classes back to their original arrangements, prior to the end of lunch period.
