The Focus Program is based on a youth-led approach, which emphasizes partnerships between Alabama Department of Public Health, community agencies, and schools. The program seeks to promote youth involvement in community planning processes; provide abstinence-based peer education programs for the prevention of HIV/AIDS, tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs; promote peer- prevention activities and awareness events; and provide education and training for youth-led initiative.

After receiving extensive training Donoho’s Focus Group is involved in conducting peer group sessions with our students and other community groups. They participate in the planning and implementation of projects and activities that promote the health of the school and community.
