Greetings!

On Valentines Day, we at The Dibble Institute® celebrate our mission.... empowering young people to successfully navigate their intimate relationships.

We are also releasing our 2024 Annual Report today! We continue to be amazed by the impact of teaching teens and young adults to get smart about their love lives! Please take a look!

This year Diblble launched Emerging Relationships, a new program for 5th and 6th graders, filling a gap in relationship education for this age group. It helps young teens develop character, caring, confidence, connection, competence, and contribution. Through six, 45 minute, engaging lessons, the program fosters self-awareness, healthy development, and positive relationships.

Also, a rigorous study by Mathematica demonstrated the lasting positive impact of Relationship Smarts PLUS on ninth graders. Three years after instruction girls, in particular, were making safer, healthier decisions about relationships and sexual activity. This research highlights the long-term effectiveness of the 13-lesson program in empowering teens to make informed choices.

Finally, we conservatively estimate that in Fiscal Year 2024 our clients reached 114,890 young people with a Dibble program. That’s over 2,200 teens a week!

These great outcomes have only been accomplished thanks to all of you who are committed to helping young people build safe and healthy relationships.

We have so much to celebrate this Valentine’s Day!

With much gratitude,
