Influence The Choice: Help us bring the Power of Me, Power of We Conference
With federal funding cuts this year, we’re relying on community support to make this impactful event possible. Your gift ensures students can access hands-on workshops that build leadership, resilience, and confidence. This annual event brings together middle and high school students for a day of connection, learning, and inspiration. Students take part in interactive workshops, practice real-life strategies to stand up to pressures around alcohol and other drugs, and gain tools to make confident, healthy choices. Along the way, they’ll build leadership skills, share ideas with peers, and make lasting friendships in a supportive and fun environment. You may donate HERE
