The Brent Shapiro Foundation created “Brent’s Club, ” an incentive and evidence-based drug prevention program. We’ve partnered with the Boys & Girls Club at select locations to provide a dedicated Brent’s Club space for members to meet.
Kids age 11 to 17 join the prevention program to learn to abstain from drugs and alcohol. Members of the club voluntarily participate with parental approval in a saliva drug test once a week, which makes the program 100% evidence-based. Participants who test positive receive private, discreet counseling. Those who stay sober are rewarded with incentives. These incentives and opportunities include Sporting events, College Campus Tours, Community Service, Recreational activities, and visiting local businesses.
The most important incentive is the scholarship. Annually, Full, All-Expenses-Paid Four-Year Scholarships and Partial Renewable Scholarships for $10,000 and $5,000 are given to senior high school members who have been committed to the program and remained drug—and alcohol-free. It is the only proven program to keep kids off drugs.
