The Jason
Foundation, Inc. incorporates
young people into its corporate and creative structure through
our Teen Boards. These boards consist of high school students,
grades 10-12, who have a passion to help their friends choose life
and to learn to live it to the fullest. Our teen boards play an
integral part in increasing awareness and education to our schools
and communities. They also assist in curriculum assessment and
materials selection in regards to our “A Promise for Tomorrow” curriculum
for grades 7 -12.
Our Teen Boards are located throughout the United States, representing
each of our affiliate offices in their respective locations. Click

Borah
Students Want to Help Peers Prevent Suicide
The Boise, Idaho
School District could have a new teen suicide curriculum
for health classes in the fall thanks to a group of students

The students are working with The Jason Foundation — a
national organization aimed at reducing teen suicide — and are talking
with district officials about putting the foundation's curriculum into eighth-
and 11th-grade health classes beginning in the fall. For
