D.A.R.E.
Willard Police Department has been teaching the D.A.R.E program in Willard Schools for the past 20 years. In 2017, they incorporated a new D.A.R.E / PAL camp for kids to spend the night in nature and learn even more valuable skills.
D.A.R.E is a 10-week educational program that teaches 5th graders about drug, alcohol and violence resistance. Dare focuses not only on avoidance, but teaches important life and coping skills. Students learn about problem solving, decision making, consequence evaluation, peer pressure, effective communication and response to bullying.
