SASI is a prevention program that targets teams of student athletes enrolled in grades 10, 11, and 12 in North Carolina’s public high schools. The curriculum includes activities centered on leadership development, effective teamwork, and lifelong skills for healthy living. Athletes are selected by their coaches and teachers and participate in a summer residential program followed by a variety of leadership activities held during the school year.
