Project CARE is a state approved provider of Student Assistance Program (SAP) training and also offers other educational seminars, trainings and workshops for adults working with adolescents in school and community settings.

Since 2005, Project CARE has been sponsored by justCommunity, Inc., a 501 (c) (3), non-profit, educational organization, that provides leadership in youth development, community mobilization, and restorative practices to schools, government agencies and other organizations.
As Project CARE approaches its 23rd anniversary, we are in the midst of a time in our culture when young people seem to need more support than ever. Again this year, we are excited to offer you courses that address current trends and issues pertinent to youth development, as well as staff competency and "best practices". These topics can be presented at your school or agency, and customized to meet your faculty or staff's specific needs.
Our website also outlines our consultation services to schools, colleges/universities, agencies and businesses. You may also want to invigorate a meeting, conference or class of your own with an adult or youth speaker or panelist from our growing Speaker's Bureau. Please feel free to contact us by phone or e-mail us at pcare@justcommunity.com with your request.
justCommunity, Inc. is also the primary coordinator of the a community based coalition called the Upper Bucks Healthy Communities Healthy Youth Coalition serving the Palisades, Pennridge and Quakertown school district communities. We believe that strong communities with thriving, youth-focused coalitions are a key to healthy familes and in turn healthy children.
On behalf of the staff and trainers at Project CARE, we want to thank you for your support over the last 23 years. And if you are new to us, we look forward to seeing you at a future training.
Sincerely,
Lee Rush
Executive Director
