Guiding Our Greatest Assets

BJC School Outreach and Youth Development was formed in 1991 to assist St. Louis-area school districts address behaviors deemed extremely harmful to young people by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

These six types of high-risk behavior are tobacco use; substance abuse; poor nutrition; lack of physical fitness; risky sexual behaviors; and violence, injury and safety. In fact, the percentage of overweight Missouri 10- 17-year olds exceeds the national average.

BJC School Outreach and Youth Development instructors measure the effectiveness of each presentation through pre-program and post-program testing. Classes are customized to be age-appropriate for grades kindergarten through high school and can be adapted to fit a school's needs. Programs are available as individual, one-hour sessions that can be extended into multiple hours, and four-week, six-week and nine-week courses.

Each presentation equips young people with the information and skills they need to lead healthy lifestyles, improve interpersonal relationships, increase academic performance and assess their career interests while reducing risk-taking behaviors. The programs are presented in a fun, interactive manner and include materials for each student.

BJC encourages you to set a good example for your children, grandchildren and other children in your life. Subscribe to BJC's free monthly e-newsletter or call us at 314.747.7234.
