Building Youth With Purpose

Empowering the Next Generation of Leaders
Building Youth with Purpose is a dynamic leadership and prevention initiative designed to equip students with the skills, confidence, and knowledge to make a meaningful impact in their schools and communities. This program fosters Leadership, Education, Advocacy, and Service while delivering critical prevention education on ATOD (alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs), distracted driving, and pedestrian safety. Young people discover their strengths, develop their voices, and become agents of change for a healthier, safer, and more resilient future.

Who We Serve

Building Youth with Purpose engages students in grades 6-8, providing them with hands-on experiences that promote personal growth, teamwork, and civic responsibility.

What We Do

Through workshops, mentorship, and community-driven projects, students in the program:

  • Lead with confidence by organizing school-wide initiatives and service projects.
  • Learn valuable skills in communication, problem-solving, and collaboration.
  • Advocate for change by addressing issues that matter to their peers and community.
  • Serve others through meaningful volunteer work and outreach programs.

How to Get Involved

Participation in the program is open to students who demonstrate enthusiasm for leadership, a commitment to learning, and a passion for making a difference. With no cost to join, all students need is parental approval, an interview, and a willingness to have fun while learning!

Why It Matters

Building Youth with Purpose is more than a leadership program—it’s a movement to create safer, healthier, purpose-driven communities. By giving young people the tools to lead today, we help them build a brighter future for themselves and those around them, free from the harms of substance use, distracted driving, and preventable injuries.
