RADICAL Lessons

RADICAL's 12 lessons offer a wide range of opportunities for young people to deal with issues such as drugs, gambling, gangs, internet safety and dating violence. Each lesson is designed to be taught via interactive media using Microsoft PowerPoint to deliver a visual medium to High School Youth. Since teens are so visually stimulated via the internet, media such as movies and video games presenting the lessons in this format has the greatest amount of impact. Although the lessons can be taught in a non-multimedia format, they have their best results when used that way.

Each lesson plan can be taught in most standard classroom length times, with a few of the lessons having two-day format, for added effectiveness. It is our belief at GATE America Inc. that RADICAL provides the Knockout punch to at-risk behavior by putting America's young people in a position to move on to college and or adulthood safely.

In addition, each participant is required to complete a Community Service Project that in some ways affects the community in near or around the school. Research has shown that when young people have a stake in their community, develop a "sense of community" which drives them to interrupt at-risk behavior in peers, siblings and in the public.
