ABOUT PROJECT SOBRIO

Project SOBRIO (SOBriety Results In Opportunities) is a grant funded program through the Imperial Valley Regional Occupational Program to educate and reduce the occurrence and repercussions of underage drinking. Awarded the grant in 2007, Project SOBRIO has worked with numerous schools in the community to educate and provide opportunities for youth. The program consists of three youth development specialists who work directly with students in participating continuation/alternative education schools.

Project SOBRIO staff use two complimentary forms of curriculum to educate youth of the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Project SUCCESS and Project Toward No Drugs were developed by agencies specializing in prevention and working with at risk youth. Project staff present curriculum to students at school sites and incorporate activities that better prepare students for making healthy choices while out in the community.
