Her parents cannot afford for her to go to tutoring. Megan
believes if she had more money she could help her family afford all these
things. Megan knows that some kids sell drugs to get money.

Megan is what society would call an at-risk youth, which means
that she is at risk for becoming a juvenile offender. If Megan’s community had
any type of community-based prevention programs, do you think they would be
able to help prevent her from violating the law?

Could a community-based program also help out with some of
the family problems Megan’s family is experiencing?

Discuss what community-based prevention programs are and
what they can offer to Megan and her family.
