DARE to be You

About This Resource

The DARE to be You (DTBY) program was developed by Jan Miller-Heyl, Program Director, in 1979, as a grant-funded program under Colorado State University Extension 4-H Youth Development. The initial program funding was to develop grass roots problem prevention programs for youth working through families and community teams. DARE to be You has a strong multi-level, theory-driven background which includes Bandura's theory of social-cognitive development and Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory.
