Background
Project Venture is an outdoor experimental youth development program designed primarily for 5th to 8th grade American Indian youth. It aims to develop the social and emotional competence that facilitates youth’s resistance to alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. Based on traditional American Indian values such as family, learning from the natural world, spiritual awareness, service to others, and respect, Project Venture’s approach is positive and strengths-based.
The program is designed to foster the development of positive self-concept, effective social interaction skills, a community service ethic, an internal locus of control, and improved decision making and problem-solving skills. The central components of the program include a minimum of 20 one-hour classroom-based activities, such as problem-solving games and initiatives conducted across the school year; weekly after-school, weekend, and summer skill-building experiential and challenge activities, such as biking, camping and white water rafting; three to 10 day immersion summer adventure camps and wilderness treks; and, community-oriented service learning and service leadership projects throughout the year.
