P.A.G.E. Core elements:
Preventive Awareness Geared to Elevation (P.A.G.E.) based learning models is a strategy to prevent, transform, and re-engage. P.A.G.E. are positive youth development programs designed to build participants’ educational success, life and leadership skills, healthy behaviors and relationships, and pro-social skills both now and in the future. The P.A.G.E. based learning models are designed to meet the developmental needs of individuals in grades 3 through 12 in a variety of settings, including schools, housing communities, and local community centers. P.A.G.E. is implemented through weekly group meetings during the school year and summers while facilitated by trained supportive adults.
P.A.G.E. programs, with the inclusion of community service learning projects, provide youth with hands on experiences that foster the development of social emotional skills and self-efficacy, while encouraging them to become involved in their communities. This initiative targets each risk factor and offers preventive measures to create productive and thriving adults. P.A.G.E. based learning models provide quality, research-based youth development media prevention programing, nutrition, college and career readiness, and promotion of parental involvement.
