Project Bono Disrupts Traditional Substance Abuse Education
Discover how our approach to court-ordered courses is disrupting antiquated programs and offering communities a unique value proposition.
Introduction
Substance abuse continues to be a significant problem in communities across the United States, resulting in a range of negative consequences for individuals, families, and society as a whole. One of the most effective ways to address this issue is through education and prevention programs, which can help individuals understand the dangers of drugs and alcohol and reduce their risk of becoming addicted.
However, traditional substance abuse education programs have been criticized for being expensive, inflexible, and inadequate in addressing the complexity of the problem.
Enter Project Bono, an innovative online court-ordered course program that is shaking up the traditional substance abuse education landscape. With our unique value proposition of redirecting 25% of enrollment proceeds back to the communities that assign our programs in order to provide enrichment, Project Bono is not only helping individuals overcome addiction but also contributing to the betterment of your community.

Flexibility and Convenience
One of the biggest advantages of Project Bono’s online education program is its flexibility and convenience. Unlike traditional in-person classes, which can be difficult for individuals to attend due to work, family obligations, or lack of reliable transportation, Project Bono’s courses can be taken at any time and from anywhere. This allows individuals to fit their education into their busy schedules and complete the program at their own pace.
Additionally, Project Bono’s online format also allows court administrators to assign the program to a larger number of individuals, which can help reduce the burden on the legal system. And with a variety of time requirements and topics such as Drugs & Alcohol Awareness, Cannabis Education, Minor in Possession (MIP), Nicotine Prevention, Bullying Prevention, Anger Management, Theft Prevention, and more, Project Bono offers a diversified curriculum that can meet the needs of different individuals.

Evidence-based Content
At Project Bono, we understand the importance of providing accurate and reliable information to our students, and that's why we use credible sources when authoring our court-ordered courses such as peer-reviewed research, scholarly journals, and reputable organizations such as the National Institutes of Health, National Institute on Drug Abuse, United States Food and Drug Administration, Harvard Health Publishing, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and more.
In addition, we believe in keeping our courses up-to-date with the latest research, laws, and best practices in the field of substance abuse education. As new information becomes available, we consistently review and update our courses to ensure that our students are receiving the most accurate and relevant information. This dedication to evidence-based content is mirrored in our approach to measuring program effectiveness.
By regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our program, we can identify areas for improvement and make adjustments as needed to ensure that our students are receiving the best education possible.
