Youth Advisory Committee

The Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) is a subcommittee of DCP SAFE. The YAC involves diverse groups of students in ninth through 11th grade who have the opportunity to develop leadership skills and positively affect the community through substance use prevention activities. The YAC envisions communities that support healthy choices so individuals can build healthy, safe and successful lives free of the challenges associated with substance use.

YAC members have the opportunity to:

  • Learn about the risks related to alcohol and other drug use
  • Learn about prevention strategies
  • Plan and implement two activities during National Prevention Week that are related to preventing underage drinking and prescription drug misuse

For more information, please call 815.981.7409.
