D.A.R.E Costa Rica

The D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program aims to provide children and young people with the information and tools necessary to live productive and healthy lives free of alcohol and drugs. Established in 1991, D.A.R.E. Costa Rica has facilitated the participation of nearly 700,000 young people, causing Costa Rica’s former Minister of Public Service, Rogelio Ramos, to declare, “The D.A.R.E. program of Costa Rica is the finest of all programs under my ministry.”
