    ACT for Youth – Program Toolkit for Youth Development Professionals

“The Pennsylvania Learning Platform by EPIS Penn State has become part of Counterdrugs’ (Pennsylvania National Guard) onboarding program for servicemembers who work within the DDRO (Drug Demand Reduction Outreach) section… Here at Counterdrug, we believe that these courses give new employees the baseline knowledge they need to be a successful part of the team. I highly recommend the implementation of these onboarding procedures to any organization that are hiring new employees.”

Sergeant Joseph Rivera, Counterdrug Joint Task Force, Drug Demand Reduction Outreach (DDRO) Civil Operator
