Quality Matters
A number of national and international organizations committed to guiding young people toward healthy, drug-
and violence-free lives have recognized Lions Quest and Lions Clubs International Foundation’s support of youth
development. Our research-based programs and superior professional development have been given high marks
by numerous organizations.
The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) has
designated all three Lions Quest programs “Select SEL.” This highest rating was
awarded in recognition of Lions Quest's excellence in three areas recommended by
CASEL as the most important starting points for program selection - Outstanding Social
and Emotional Learning (SEL) Instruction, Evidence of Effectiveness, and Outstanding
Professional Development.
Lions Quest Skills for Adolescence is listed on the National Registry of Evidence-
Based Programs and Practices (NREPP), a service of the U.S. Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Previously designated a
“Model” program under SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) Model
Programs Initiative, Skills for Adolescence remains on the NREPP list as an evidence-based
prevention program, rated for Quality of Research and Readiness for Dissemination.
