Every 15 Minutes

the problem:

Underage drinking in our community as well as the surrounding communities. The project was really aimed to prevent drinking and driving.

vital stats:

people impacted:

100

people involved:

35

why it's important:

My organization is for prevention. We did prevention programs for alcohol drugs and tobacco so this was something very important for me to do. I wanted to be able to show the community how serious the topic of drinking and driving was.

the plan of action:

This project took a lot of work. I had to gather students who were willing to be serious and help out throughout the day. I had to get the community emergency response crew to all be willing to participate. There were many meetings held to make sure that everyone knew what their jobs were. The law enforcement in my community was a big help as well. With this project being presented in my community it open the students and members of the commuinity`s eyes.
