The Adopt-a-School initiative is a collaboration between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Pittsburgh Division, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
(...email me for more info and details on how to become involved in this very effective movement...JIM
The 'Adopt-a-School' program is a concept initiated by the FBI in the major divisions across the nation. The variations of the program range from periodic visits to a selected school where FBI volunteers and other resource personnel spend time with students during designated classroom time to the model utilized in Western Pennsylvania.
All the models are designed to work with students while stressing the importance of obtaining a good education, living healthy and drug free, and abstaining from violent and/or criminal behavior. The models are flexible enough in structure to not only allow for differences in school systems throughout the country, but also to allow the field divisions to choose an acceptable program that will fit within the confines of their available resources, while meeting the needs of the community/school district.
