Look Before You Leap

“Do I pursue risks, or play it safe?” Every teen will arrive at the same crossroad in
life, yet the choice is often more difficult than it seems and the consequences unimaginable. To help answer those questions, the Just Say YES organization created “Look Before You Leap,” a three screen multimedia experience that takes relationship education to extreme heights.  The show uses a sky-diving theme to portray consequences of risky behaviors. With an adrenaline rush of drama, emotion, and comedy, the show aims to unmask the risks teenagers take everyday, from drugs and alcohol to eating disorders and pornography. The goal is to guide young people to say “no” to negative choices and “yes” to a healthy, happy future.
