In the Zone

The In the Zone: Living Drug Free series is a dynamic substance-abuse prevention resource. The program gives girls a chance to speak and listen, to reflect and evaluate, to belong and participate, to create and build, and to succeed and grow in self-esteem. The activities provided inspire leadership, strong values, social conscience and conviction about each girl's own potential and self-worth - qualities that help girls grow strong. The program is a collaboration between Girl Scouts of the USA and the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy's National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign about substance abuse among young people.
