In our latest video, we spotlight the inspiring initiative led by Frank Church High School students as they prepare to launch a youth-led alcohol awareness campaign focused on preventing underage drinking. This powerful campaign, supported by The Office of Drug Policy and the Idaho Liquor Division, will see students place 30,000 reminder stickers on customer bags at local liquor stores. The message, “Ensure Brighter Futures: Never Provide Alcohol to Minors,” underscores the critical role adults play in safeguarding youth and preventing early exposure to alcohol.
Launching statewide on November 29, 2024, this campaign showcases the students’ dedication to spreading awareness about the serious consequences associated with underage drinking and promoting community responsibility.
The following video features heartfelt insights from Tara Haley, an AVID teacher at Frank Church High School, who emphasizes the importance of this message: “I have had students, who are now proudly sober, tell me that they were first given alcohol as a young child by an adult they trusted. I believe some adults do not realize the impact drinking young has on a child’s brain, behaviors, and possible future addictions. Adults also can face legal ramifications. I’m proud of my students for helping spread this important message.”
Watch to see how these passionate students are taking action to build awareness, create conversations, and ultimately protect the youth in their community.
