Rachael’s First Week Programs
High School
Our high school program was created to help with the transition from life after high school. We strive to equip teens with the skills and knowledge to make good decisions.
University
Our college program was devised to equip students with the tools to deal with the new situations that they will encounter during their college years. College freshman, in particular, are in a high-risk category, experiencing new freedoms without the same level of supervision and/or support of parents.
Sororities & Fraternities
Many colleges require sororities and fraternities to have one or all of the following types of educational programs: sexual assault, mental health and alcohol drug use/abuse. Rachael’s First Week Program is able to fulfill all of these requirements through our program.
James M. Danko of Butler University recommends that students visit rachaelsfirstweek.org to learn about making smart choices, and he asks them to intervene when they see someone in trouble. “Help someone out who doesn’t realize the kind of trouble that they’re in,” he said at the 2018 convocation. “We depend on each of you to watch over each other.”
