The Youth Council plays a key role in the larger Coalition. They participate in meetings, projects, policy development, campaigns, and other activities that reduce youth substance abuse. This group acts as role models for their peers through their work with the Coalition.
The Youth Council is filled with opportunities for youth to coordinate activities, learn leadership skills, and disseminate information about the harms of substance misuse. Our goal is to educate peers and Roy community members through evidence-based prevention strategies, training, and positive interactions with prosocial peers.
