Over the years, various groups of students have been involved in developing additional educational materials to supplement our Fourth R program.  To ensure our videos are the most effective, youth are invited to assist in the development. Typically, students will identify issues that result in conflicts (e.g., substance use, teen pregnancy, racism, poverty), develop scenarios to highlight effective ways to resolve these conflicts, and make a video depicting a range of communication and problem-solving skills. These videos are incorporated with our original video resources and are currently used across the country as an additional resource for the program.
