🍕 Did you know 80% of teens say family dinner is when they’re most likely to talk to their parents?

❤️ This Red Ribbon Week, we’re celebrating the power of connection—one pizza at a time! Grab a pie from Tony’s, Dante’s, or TJ’s, add a family game night, and tag for your chance to win a $50 gift card!

🧩 Life is a puzzle—solve it drug free!

Back to School Night!! 📚✏️📓

We’re kicking off the school year strong with Landon, Madison, and Michael holding it down at our Above the Influence table! 🙌🏼

Stop by to say hi, learn more about the program, and ask all your questions about how ATI is empowering youth to make positive choices and stay true to themselves. ✌🏼✨

We had the best day celebrating the end of summer and an exciting new school year!📚

Students from Above The Influence started their morning off with a tee time! ⛳️ We played park golf, a sport from Japan created to keep people active and moving.

After that, it was time to climb! Youth harnessed in and got to climbing as they exploded different challenge courses in the sky. 💪🏼🌲

We had the best summer ever and are excited to see what this school year brings! 🌟✏️📚

20 of our amazing students showed up to volunteer at the 11th Annual Changing the Face of Addiction Walk 💜 Together we tinselled hair, made bracelets, painted faces, and shared why we choose to stay Above the Influence.

We’re on Broadway!!

Well, kind of… 😉

We had the BEST day seeing The Outsiders — a story that dives deep into friendship, choices, and how the paths we take can shape our future. Just like in the show, we talk with our youth about staying “above the influence” and making choices that keep us healthy and substance-free.

Students explored Madame Tussaud’s and enjoyed lunch & dinner together.

Lots of memories made, lessons learned, and inspiration for the future! 🤍🫶🏼

WEEK ONE DONE ✅
36 youth wrapped up this week’s Youth Leadership Conference! Students heard from local organizations about what it really means to be a leader — and put those skills to the test during our Shark Tank challenge.🦈💡 Students were tasked with researching and designing a fundraising opportunity for the coalition.

We can’t reveal the winner just yet 🤫 but let’s just say... we have some really cool plans for 2026! 🤪

Any guesses?! 👀
