Four Ways to Contribute

Decisions drive life and societal direction. And yet, our schools struggle to teach students the critical decision-making skills they need for success.
DEF's mission is to equip adolescents with Decision Skills and Tools that help them create great futures for themselves and society.
Our programs provide materials, curriculum, and training for educators, parents, and organizations to teach high school students the Decision Skills for making better decisions.

We value the individual’s right to make his or her own decisions. We aim to teach how to decide, not what to decide. We respect the challenge for all learners in developing the wide range of competencies necessary to be a skilled decision maker, including:

• awareness of self and others
• managing uncertainty
• thinking critically and creatively
• awareness and resistance to decision traps
• and the exercise of appropriate self-control

We believe significant decisions require conscious, actionable thought utilizing both “head and heart”. All decisions can benefit from the skills and habits which result from decision education.
