Program Description
This program provides support to governors for a variety of drug and violence prevention activities focused
primarily on school-age youths. Governors use their program funds to provide support to local education agencies
(LEAs), community-based organizations, and other public and private nonprofit entities for drug and violence
prevention activities that complement the state education agency (SEA) and LEA portion of the Safe and
Drug-Free Schools and Communities program.
Types of Projects
Governors give priority to programs that serve youths and children not normally served by SEAs and LEAs or that
reach populations that need special or additional resources, such as youths in juvenile detention facilities, runaway
or homeless youths, pregnant and parenting teenagers, and school dropouts.
