Teen Maze
Empowering teens to make healthy choices and envision a positive future
Teen Maze empowers high school students to make informed choices by exploring how decisions can affect their health, relationships, and future. This interactive experience brings youth and community partners together to promote awareness, prevention, and healthy decision-making.
What is Teen Maze?
Teen Maze is an interactive, 30- 60 minute event for high school students focused on decision making and the consequences of using drugs and alcohol. Students start at a party, where they are given a card with a scenario about an unhealthy choice that a teen could make at a party. After participating in a mock party the students then enter the “maze”, where they visit different tables that represent possible consequences of decisions made at the party.
​
Stations are run by volunteers from the schools and the community (court, law enforcement, career, hospital), who have a script guiding participants through a discussion about how their decisions affect them, their friends, and their family, as well as what they could do differently.
