Text Box: Nearly two-thirds of all new drug use in Indiana begins between the 6th grade and the end of 9th grade. This experimentation often occurs in the after-school hours when youth are more likely to be unsupervised.

Text Box: Afternoons R.O.C.K. in Indiana delivers evidence-based drug abuse prevention programs in the after-school hours. Youth benefit from structured recreation as well as academic and social skills development in a safe and supervised environment. For many young adolescents, afternoons are filled with temptations. The “critical” hours, 3-6p.m. are those hours between the time school lets out and the time that the adults in the family get home.

Text Box: Why After School? Why Youth Aged 10-14? Why 5th Grade—8th Grade?
