Project Northland

Project Northland is a six-year intervention delivered over seven academic years from middle to high school, but a shortened, 3-year version may also be used in grades 6, 7, and 8. It is a multi-level intervention to include demand (individual level) and supply (environmental level) reduction strategies. Its main intervention components include classroom curricula, peer leadership, youth-driven extra-curricular activities, parent involvement programs, and community activism. By intervening on multiple levels, Project Northland strives to teach students skills to effectively negotiate social influences to drink, while at the same time directly modifying the social environment of youth (i.e., peers, parents, school, and community).
