Membership

A community of officers who care

As a member, you become part of a community of officers who care deeply about our schools, our families, and the future of Wisconsin's kids. Share ideas, celebrate successes, and learn from one another so we can keep strengthening our communities together.

What membership gives you

A state-wide network

Connect with D.A.R.E. Officers from agencies in every region of Wisconsin who teach the same lessons you do. The association is here to share ideas, celebrate successes, and learn from one another.

Training & conference

Members plan and attend the annual WI DARE Officer Training and the July state conference which helps refresh your curriculum, compare classroom approaches, and meet other amazing officers.

A voice & a vote

The annual membership meeting at the state conference is where the association reports out and where members help steer what we do next. Board meeting minutes are always available on request.

Recognition

Each year the association honors a D.A.R.E. Officer of the Year and celebrates retiring officers, the people behind decades of safe, healthy childhoods.
