Dear Family and Friends of Project Extreme,

Each and every one of our children is a precious gem. The 24 hours of Purim pose a real live danger to Jewish children, everywhere. It is these 24 hours that expose many of our youth to the dangers of drinking, driving drunk or riding with a drunk driver and drug use. Purim parties and celebrations may also put our children into challenging peer pressure situations, for which they are unprepared to combat or resist.

1. Know where your child/teen is at all times
2. Know who they are hanging out with
3. Speak to the Designated Driver and check in periodically to assure they are still sober
4. MOST IMPORTANTLY- Inform your child/teen that it is OK for them to text/call at any time of day or night to ask to be picked up. Create a simple code word/letter they can text you letting you know they are in a situation that makes them uncomfortable for any reason, and assure them that they will be picked up and taken home with no lectures or blame. Read more about how this plan helped one family here.
