Getting involved in the fight against substance misuse in your community begins with a desire to create positive change. Start by utilizing our Youth Coalition page (hyperlink) to see if your community has a youth program. If they do, join it and become a part of the conversation.
Even if your community doesn’t have a YLINK program, youth leadership prevention groups or a prevention coalition with youth membership, there are still plenty of ways for you to contribute and make a difference.
Attend workshops, webinars, or training about substance misuse prevention.
Use social media platforms to raise awareness, spark conversations, and promote healthy behaviors in your community.
If a program isn’t available in your community, consider starting a youth-led group focused on substance misuse prevention, and invite other young people to join. Working with your school staff and community members to create the change you wish you see.
