Operation Snowball
Operation Snowball is founded on the belief that,
through adequate information and self-understanding,
every person has the capacity to make sound
decisions and positively influence others.
Operation Snowball takes its name from the idea that
positive thinking can spread from person to person,
growing as a snowball grows.
The Operation Snowball event is a daylong
experience designed by teens, for teens. The
program uses presentations, workshops, activities, and
small group discussions to assist teens in
learning to make healthy choices, enhance their
self-esteem, and confidence.
Emphasis is on developing and refining responsible
decision making skills and creating a positive impact
on their peers. Participants can expect to meet new
people, as well as practice communication and
leadership skills. The Snowball philosophy allows
teens to make a positive impact on their peers at
school and in their community.
