OUR VALUES

Advocacy

We believe it is important to advocate for teens and also for legislation that supports the mission of our organization.

Collaboration

We believe that the problems associated with substance abuse cannot be addressed alone. Schools, parents, healthcare and law enforcement professionals, businesses, and other community organizations and agencies all have a role to play. Collaboration is crucial to addressing this problem.

Education

We believe educating the community, schools, parents, and teens about the effects of substance use on the brain, social, and health consequences is key with helping to eliminate substance abuse amongst our youth.

Innovation

We believe that there are always new ways to solve problems and new ways to get involved with local organizations through programs and activities that address teen substance abuse.
