A peer-helping model for high-risk youth, ages 11-22, in public, private, and alternative schools, and in residential settings, including juvenile corrections designed to improve social competence and cultivate strengths in youth.  Rather than demanding obedience to authority or peers, this program demands responsibility, empowering youth to discover their greatness. Caring is made fashionable and any hurting behavior totally unacceptable.  The program assumes that as group members learn to trust, respect, and take responsibility for the actions of others, norms can be established. These norms not only extinguish antisocial conduct, but more importantly reinforce prosocial attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. Positive values and behavioral change are achieved through the peer-helping process. Helping others increases self-worth. As individuals become more committed to caring for others, they abandon hurtful behaviors.
