Visions’ Just For Kids program is funded by Sacramento County Division of Drug and Alcohol. This program, designed to teach children ages 5 to 14 to say “No” to drugs and alcohol and to provide positive alternatives, is offered in the community where the children live.
Parents are also encouraged, through this program, to take a leadership role in combating drug use, abuse, and trafficking in their neighborhood.
High School youth receive a variety of services through Visions Youth Diversion program. “Successful Rites of Passage” is a unique, cooperative school/community project funded by the Sacramento Employment and Training Agency (SETA). This program offers youth in grades 9-12 positive alternatives to drugs and alcohol, gangs, truancy, and at-risk behaviors by focusing on continuing education, developing self-esteem, and exploring employment opportunities, with the goal of becoming self sufficient and contributing adults. This goal is achieved through individual, group, and/or family counseling; information; educational enrichment; community information and referral; and, with parental permission, education on human sexuality, HIV, AIDS, and the effects of substance abuse. Students at Luther Burbank High School and local community continuation schools avail of this program.
