SWEEP stands for “students wanting to encourage education and prevention” (on drugs including alcohol).  How does it work?  ...High school students who want to help other youth to be healthy become SWEEP’ers (aka “Peer Facilitators”) by learning about drugs (including alcohol) from experts, then teaching what they’ve learned to their peers and younger students from elementary schools.  SWEEP is a “peer-to-peer” drug awareness program, but what’s really unique about SWEEP is that its Peer Facilitators use “Playback Theatre” as their way of reaching out to and teaching other students!  Playback Theatre is fun and the perfect way for SWEEP’ers to educate their peers.
