Mission Statement

To provide an educational program to Georgia’s youth, which provides guidance, and the skills, ability and knowledge to be safe, healthy, and happy, in preparation for a successful life.

Today’s students face dangers older generations could not have imagined. Choosing Healthy Activities and Methods Promoting Safety (C.H.A.M.P.S.) was founded in 2003 by the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association to address these urgent challenges.

You can support C.H.A.M.P.S. by making a donation to the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association.

The flexible, twelve-week program includes a weekly hour-long lesson from a C.H.A.M.P.S.-certified deputy sheriff. Subject matter includes:

Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco Abuse Prevention
Boating/Swimming Safety
Hunting/Gun Safety
Gangs and Violence
Peer Pressure
And Much More!

The target audience is fifth graders, and the program is tailored to meet the unique needs of students in each county so they resist self-destructive behavior. Good behavior is positively reinforced through fun, rewarding activities.

If you are an educational professional interested in bringing the C.H.A.M.P.S. program to your school, please email brent@georgiasheriffs.org, the Association’s Program Coordinator, Brent Loeffler or call 770-914-1076.

The Georgia Sheriffs’ Association has approved It’s Party Time as the official statewide middle school drug education curriculum.

To give Georgia’s youth the best possible chance for adult success, please make a donation to the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association to support C.H.A.M.P.S. By strengthening the hard work families and educational professionals are already doing raising the next generation, C.H.A.M.P.S. ensures all of us have a brighter future.
