The program promotes 13 High School Seniors with diverse interests who are committed to living drug, alcohol and tobacco free to serve as mentors for children in the community. Their interests may be sports, FFA, photography, music, chess, computers, or any other positive interest.

These teens will act as mentors and are committed to sharing their positive message with children in our communities.  They are each featured on their own trading card, which they take to area elementary schools and community events to sign for younger students.  They discuss their choices and hope to help these children see that it is possible to be “cool” and still make the right decisions in life. 

After the younger students have collected all 13 cards and have them signed they may then enter a drawing to win prizes at the end of the school year. The program is designed to promote real world role models for children.  Candidates for the program will be asked to sign a contract to remain drug, tobacco, alcohol and legal trouble free for their senior year, and will be given a $1000 scholarship.
