Operation Aware Is Coming to Your Classroom!

Operation Aware partners with schools to bring engaging, age-appropriate prevention education directly to students.

Through classroom discussion, activities and practical skill-building, students learn how to make thoughtful decisions, handle pressure, build healthy coping skills and make positive choices.

Our mission remains at the heart of every lesson:

Equipping youth through prevention education with the knowledge and skills to make positive choices.

How We Measure Program Effectiveness

Operation Aware uses brief pre- and post-program assessments to better understand what students know before participating and what they gain from the experience.

The assessments help us measure changes in areas such as:

  • Prevention knowledge

  • Decision-making skills

  • Confidence

  • Healthy coping strategies

  • Ability to recognize and respond to risky situations

Student responses are kept confidential and used for program evaluation and improvement. The information helps Operation Aware strengthen lessons, measure student outcomes and ensure our programming remains relevant and responsive to student needs.

By participating, students help us continue building effective prevention education that supports healthy choices, resilience and long-term success.
