"The main focus of the grant project is starting a parent mentoring group in Edgerton that will help parents create positive experiences for children, making them less tempted to drink."The program centers around the building of "developmental assets" that have been proven to reduce the risk of teen alcohol use. These assets include family support, adult role models, and creative activities. Parents who participate will meet one-on-one with a mentor who will help them to implement these developmental assets.
