NOVA will be delivering the program during the upcoming school year to approximately 3,000 students, parents and educators in Bucks County public and parochial schools at the middle school and high school levels.

Components of other NOVA programs (e.g., cyber safety and sexual harassment) are included. NOVA educators with professional experience in the classroom will teach the program.
