What is Choice Pass?
Choice Pass is a triangle of support and celebration! 6th-12th graders (public or online/home schooled) commit to being healthy, substance free, and good citizens of the community. Secondly, parents commit to having open, honest conversations and providing safe, substance free environments for their kids to hang out with friends. Parents also must attend one parent education dinner to learn from a variety of topics affecting teens and how to better engage in difficult conversations with their adolescent. The third piece of the triangle is community. GCSAPP (Gunnison County Substance Abuse Prevent Project)- the parent umbrella of Choice Pass- supports youth and families with monthly parent education dinners November-May. What’s more is over 60 businesses in the Gunnison Valley and Lake City celebrate teens’ commitment by offering discounts!
In addition to the perks, Choice Pass partners with professionals throughout the Gunnison Valley to offer amazing programs at discounted prices. Programs include: avalanche safety course, backcountry skiing, outdoor youth leadership, make up tutorials, and more! Many of the programs are also available for high school credit! It’s a community high five for healthy choices!
