- “Our agency is committed to promoting substance abuse prevention using evidence-based programs. Al’s Pals is our primary early childhood prevention activity and we have been extremely pleased with the program. Our staff has found Al’s Pals easy to implement. We have also observed positive results using the program. But most of all, the children in our classes love Al and his friends.”
