Pics1Sample Messages

Below are some sample messages to give you an idea of the type of text message we send. As you will see, some messages will be serious, some are just plain silly. The overall strategy is to have a daily presence that does not become overpowering or annoying. At times our messages will serve as a daily reminder that a parent or friend cares about them. And at other times our messages may be that all-important connection that reminds a young person to make a good choice they may otherwise live to regret.

Although many of the messages will be the same for all age groups, we do tailor some of the content to most appropriately communicate with a specific group to maximize effectiveness.

make choices that lead to success.
