Youth Engagement & Education
We believe youth voices matter. Through our coalition, teens can learn, lead, and take action to support healthy choices in our community.
Participating helps teens develop skills, connect with peers, and contribute to a healthier, safer community.
Clubs & Programs We Support
- Quincy High School Youth Action Interact Club: A Rotary-affiliated group where teens share prevention messages, plan events, and engage in community service while supporting healthy choices among peers.
- Quincy Middle School WEB Club: An 8th grade leadership group that helps 6th grade students transition smoothly into middle school and builds connections within the school community.
- Youth Representative for the Coalition: Teens attend coalition meetings, share ideas, and help guide community initiatives with our support.
- Training & Workshops: We assist in providing opportunities for leadership, communication, and advocacy skills while learning about substance prevention and wellness.
