Prevention & Education improves the quality of life in Gilroy and its schools by helping children and parents develop the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and skills that will help them avoid criminal behavior, gang involvement, truancy, and drug, alcohol, and tobacco use. Our vision is for all young people to grow up in safe, healthy, and supportive environments and develop the confidence and skills needed to successfully navigate challenging situations and grow to their full potential. During the 2007-2008 school year, Prevention & Education provided group and classroom instruction to over 1800 children in 11 Gilroy Schools and 400 parents through its family workshops. In 2008, the program launched the REACH Youth Mentoring Program. Services provided are evidence-based whenever possible.
