Join our Youth Advisory Committee and make an impact!
Are you 14-24? You can make a difference. Help us raise awareness by informing our campaign on substance use awareness.
In 2022, we worked with a Youth Advisory Committee to co-design, develop, and guide a campaign on youth substance use: the More Than the Substance Campaign.
We’re looking to continue this conversation and engage a new Youth Advisory Committee to guide the direction of a new phase of the More Than the Substance Campaign.
We are looking for youth to co-design, develop new content, and help spread the word. The committee will meet 4-5 times over the course of 5 months. We are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone to participate in a meaningful way.
