Mission Statement

The mission of the Red Ribbon Program is to promote a community of Lifelong Learners acquiring and applying knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to change behaviors that will enhance the total health  of all citizens, especially our youth.

Giving Youth A Voice

Every person has a voice. It is how we use our voice that counts. That means realizing how important you are and taking opportunities to make a difference. Young people often undervalue themselves, their role in the community, the impact they can make on their peers, and their importance in contributing to a healthy community. The Northern Illinois Red Ribbon Program gives our youth an important part in the decision making process that will impact their future… We give them a voice but most important we listen!
