YOUTH LEADERS

We empower youth to take the lead

Our mission comes to life through our Youth Leadership Council. This group of dynamic high school and college students comes together to work on programs to prevent substance misuse among their peers. We provide the guidance, support, and resources they need to make a true difference for their generation.

PARENTS

We give parents knowledge and confidence

Talking to your children about alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use can be a challenge, but it is one of the most powerful conversations you can have as a parent. We have facts, tools, and strategies to help you and your family make important decisions.
