Superintendents of the five Greene County, PA school districts recently met with sponsors of the Botvin LifeSkills Training substance abuse curriculum. Sponsor contributions fully funded the program, which will reach an estimated 2,750 students in third through ninth grades throughout the county this year.

The Coalition for a Brighter Greene led the project by hiring a certified Botvin LifeSkills trainer to provide classroom training. Forty-five principals, teachers, guidance counselors and nurses from the county schools, plus four Greene County Health and Human Services employees, received the training and became certified to teach the LifeSkills Training program. Sponsors of the program paid for all teacher manuals and student workbooks, as well as the two-day training for educators.
