Refuse to Use!

Refuse to Use was developed by Stratton Mountain Resort and The Collaborative to support community schools with individual substance use prevention programs. Students in RTU begin by taking a pledge to remain free from drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. Parents, guardians or caring adults pledge to support the students.

These substance abuse prevention events are held at the participating schools; Flood Brook Union School, Maple Street School, Burr & Burton Academy, Manchester Elementary Middle School, Long Trail School, Mountain School and The Dorset School.

The Collaborative provides schools an opportunity to offer students a tangible incentive to remain substance free. Stratton Mountain Resort, Riley Rink or Viking Nordic Center passes are the choices students have for successful participation in the Refuse to Use program. To maintain their pass, students must remain substance free and must attend all five specified events. A new partnership with Dorset Theater Festival, created in spring of 2010, provides student DOR passes to RTU participants who successfully complete the Refuse to Use program.
