  • Introduce students to conflict resolution techniques.
  • Increase students’ knowledge of local laws and ordinances related to neighborhood living, including underage drinking laws.
  • Enhance students’ knowledge of how to host and/or attend a safe, hassle-free party.
  • Deepen students’ self awareness and identity as neighborhood residents.
