ALCOHOL SAFETY ACTION PROGRAM
All alcohol and drug prevention programs are grant-funded and encourage youth to make healthy choices for their future. Some programs are interventions for youth who have been caught using drugs or alcohol, and others are intended to educate kids about the risks before they get involved with these dangerous substances. The goal of these programs is to influence youth in a positive way to prevent them from making bad choices.
PRIME FOR LIFE
The Prime for Life program is offered to youth offenders with Minor Consuming charges as well as through Nome Beltz High School Health Class. The program educates youth about decision-making to better prepare them to make healthy decisions regarding drug and alcohol use. Prime for Life focuses on delivering accurate information, strengthening positive personal choices, teaching drug-resistance, supporting change, and planning for success.
PFL is supported by the Alcohol Safety Action Program, which provides for funding through a state grant.

YOUTH COURT
The Nome Youth Court gives first-time juvenile offenders the opportunity to keep their crime off the record by agreeing to go on trial before their peers. The Nome Youth Court is a restorative justice system approach in which sentences focus on rehabilitation and on repairing the damage to the community. These sentences promote responsibility much more than solely serving punishment. The recidivism rate for those who complete their sentence is much lower than those who are at the mercy of the traditional court system.
