The SLS MP is a year-long, outcome based, youth-led prevention program.  The program consists of five parts. 

Part 1:  Advisors attend three summer one day Advisor Trainings.

Part 2:  Students attend an all day, eight hour SLS training.

Part 3:  Chapters complete three Progress Reports and attend one SLS booster training.

Part 4:  Chapter participates in the High/Scope Youth Program Quality Assessment evaluation administered by SLS for SLS Chapters.

Part 5:  Chapters develop and present student workshops at the SLS 25th Annual High School Leadership Conference in November 2010.

Chapters that successfully complete all five parts will receive $1,100.00 incentive funding to be used within their chapter, and 10 SLS t-shirts.  SLS is a Michigan student organization that implements the best, proven effective, peer safety programs.  The SLS MP plan certifies SLS Chapters that are implementing proven-effective, outcome-based, peer-led safety programs.

If your chapter is interested in being part of the SLS MP for 2010-2011 call SLS for an interview application.  The 2010-2011 SLS MP will begin June 2010.
