Through local organizations, All Stars supports and motivates young people to reduce the use of gateway drugs while encouraging them to make meaningful relationships and develop positive characters and lifestyles.

Too Good for Drugs and Violence High School (TGFDV) is centered on teaching kids character-based skills and attitudes through the interconnected concepts of conflict resolution, anger management, respect for self and others and effective communication. As kids learn to manage their emotions and communicate effectively, their social emotional intelligence actualizes. They are able to get along with others, create a sense of belonging and ultimately change attitudes and behavior that lead to bullying and violence.
Too Good for Violence™ K-8 addresses the most significant risk factors and protective factors at each developmental level to help students learn the skills and attitudes they need to get along peacefully with others. For High School students, Violence Prevention is combined with Drug Prevention in Too Good for Drugs and Violence High School to address more complex concepts facing the teenager.
