Our Goal: To get adults in our community to step up as parents and business leaders to create an environment for youth where alcohol abuse is not the norm.

Our current projects include:

  • Human Billboard on April Fool's Day in downtown Portage that said: Alcohol Industry You Do Not Fool Us - Stop Targeting Youth
  • Wall of Shame: Members took pictures of alcohol advertising they see every day and put it on a huge display board to show adults what youth are exposed to every day.
  • County Dance: Members are putting together a dance open to all high schoolers as a fundraiser and a way to get teens connected with teens.
  • Retreat: A summer high school retreat is going to be held at the MacKenzie Center in August.  Rock climbing, team building and more will be a part of this three day event!!
