Awareness Campaigns

Red Ribbon Week – October 23 – 28, 2011

Red Ribbon Week is celebrated annually during the week of October 23rd- 31st. The campaign was started in memory of a fallen DEA agent to bring awareness to the importance of youth resiliency against drugs. The Council sponsors this annual weekly event by providing ribbons to Berks County schools and reinforcing the importance of staying drug free. By wearing a red ribbon during the last week in october, people demonstrate their opposition to drugs and illustrate their dedication to drug free communities.

Safe Homes

The Safe Homes Parent Network is a program to help parents connect to provide safe and healthy homes within their community. Safe Homes parents enjoy the mutual support of other like-minded parents by agreeing to follow the philosophy of the Safe Homes pledge. A directory of Safe Homes parents within each school district is then generated to connect like-minded parents and assist them in facilitating safe and healthy activities.
