YOUTH CLUBS
Branson High School's ADAPT Youth Club: Our first Youth Club meeting is October 6, 2021, from 2:45 pm to 3:45 pm in room 336. All are welcome to join!
ADAPT encourages and supports the start-up of clubs in all area schools. Please contact us if you are interested in getting one going in your school!
COMMUNITY EVENTS
The coalition hosts a booth at several community events throughout the year and is always seeking volunteers. We are especially seeking youth volunteers to engage with community members during local events and share their enthusiasm for prevention with others! Contact us for upcoming opportunities to volunteer at our next community event.
SPEAKING TO POLICY MAKERS
The coalition works to strengthen policies that reduce youth access to substances and youth voices are essential to policy change. Whether through letters or in-person communication, we encourage youth to share their stories with law makers to support prevention efforts.
