The Problem

Teen Institute is the oldest drug, alcohol and tobacco prevention club in the country. Teen Institute’s goal is to get high school students dedicated to living a drug, alcohol, and tobacco free lifestyle and get teens to educate other teens and younger kids about how important it is to live without any drugs, alcohol, or tobacco since peer prevention works the best. It also costs a lot less and easier to get people to never start using any substance then to treat an existing addiction.

Plan of Action

My plan of action is to keep educating people on drugs, alcohol and tobacco. After I graduate from high school I will go to college to be a social worker and specialize in addiction and prevention of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
