D.A.R.E.

D.A.R.E. Logo D.A.R.E. Program—Since 1990
D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. The D.A.R.E. Program is a ten-week program taught by four Tigard Police Officers. The program is targeted at fifth grade students and is taught in five Tigard elementary schools.

The D.A.R.E. lessons focus on four major areas:
  • Providing accurate information about drugs, alcohol and tobacco.
  • Teaching students good decision-making skills.
  • Showing students how to recognize and resist peer pressure.
  • Giving students ideas for positive alternative to drug use.
D.A.R.E. officers work with children to raise their self-esteem; encourage them to make their own decisions; show them how to cope with their problems in a positive way; and encourage them to get involved in positive activities instead of doing drugs.

We also have a D.A.R.E. Summer Camp program, which provides positive activities during the summer months for kids. Each summer camp consists of educational classes in which they learn conflict resolution, goal setting, healthy self-image, career exploration, and communication skills. They participate in recreational activities such as swimming, volleyball, basketball, softball, and other team building games. Summer camp provides positive relationships with adults and builds their self-esteem. We show the kids they can have a great time without drugs!!!

If you would like more information about our D.A.R.E. programs, contact Youth Programs Manager Sheryl Huiras at 503-718-2578.
