Raising Up An Alliance of Discerning Luminaries: Empowering Communities

---

At the heart of RADL is our Every Child Matters initiative—a three-stage educational process designed to help young people make

better life choices:

Through this three-step process, RADL transforms knowledge into action—guiding youth from awareness to accountability, and ultimately to better decision-making. Our goal is to keep them out of the criminal justice system and away from harm, helping them build a brighter, more successful future.

Stage 1 – Understanding the Crime and the Punishment

In a classroom setting, students identify different crimes and their corresponding punishments. They retell these lessons in storybook

form, reinforcing their understanding of the cause-and-effect relationship between actions and consequences.

Stage 2 – Spotting the Risk Factors

Students explore negative environments and risky circumstances, then write stories illustrating the potential dangers and outcomes

of those scenarios. This stage builds awareness of the traps they may face in real life.

Stage 3 – Choosing the Positive Path

Students revisit the same situations but rewrite them with positive choices. Applying what they have learned about laws,

consequences, and environmental risks, they create stories that model better decisions and safer outcomes.
