BBB also offers Scam Prevention programs for High School and College-age students, In the past 3 years, the age group of 18-24 years become the most susceptible to scams. It is an interactive presentation inviting students to learn the warning signs of scams and how to spot them through different media.
Our Everyday Ethics is a fun, interactive program for high school students. Through real-life scenarios and group discussions, students learn what ethics are, how ethics appear in their lives, and how the decisions they make every day can impact their futures.
