Quest International started with a small beginning at the High School level around 1975. Lions International became involved with the writing of the "Skills for Adolescence program for the 6th, 7th and 8th grades when it was decided that the program must start at an earlier age. In 1989, the "Skills for Growing" program was piloted and became available for general use that fall.

District 4-N Lions began their involvement in 1986 when at least two clubs helped schools in their area establish the program. In the spring of 1987 the Hawthorne Lions Clubs sponsored the first district-wide contract workshop to train school staff in the "Skills for Adolescence" program. About the same time Richard Weidinan obtained a grant which helped finance some of the training. The Hawthorne Lions sponsored additional workshops in the spring of '88 and and again in the fall of '89. "Skills for Growing" workshorks were also held in the fall of '89 in Las Vegas and Hawthorne and were sponsored by the Hawthorne Club.

As a result of individual Lions becoming involved in Drug Prevention Programs, District 4-N voted to established Drug Awareness and Quest Revolving Committee in 1980s Richard Weidman (Henderson-Green Valley) served the first Executive Director and was succeeded by Harry L. Poe (Hawthorne). Lions Quest Project, Inc. was established and subsequently received Tax Exempt status. This corporation makes annual applications for and administration grant funds.

Quest is a program in which school staff is trained to use the Quest material to teach self-esteem, communication skills and the ability to make wholesome decisions concerning self, so that our youth will say "NO" to drugs.
