Respecting and having empathy for others, making good choices, and setting positive goals are just some of the skills and attitudes that youth are taught in the G.R.E.A.T. Program. G.R.E.A.T.’s elementary school, middle school, summer, and families components are designed to produce specific attitude and behavioral changes through a unique combination of skills training, cooperative learning, facilitated group discussions, and role playing. Acquiring these skills and attitudes helps youth avoid gang membership, prevent violence and criminal activity, and develop a positive relationship with law enforcement.

To be as successful as possible, the G.R.E.A.T. Program should be part of a suite of programs that reinforce life skills. G.R.E.A.T. offers a range of opportunities through its four components, which work synergistically to reinforce each other and to complement other life-skills programs within schools and the community.
