Interactive workshops will cover a variety of topics including leadership development and youth advocacy as it relates to substance abuse prevention and mental health promotion. Participants will work with adult allies in order to provide 100 students in Broward County an opportunity to develop leadership skills, increase the coping skills and to help promote the next generation of advocates for a safe and healthy community. They will enjoy a college experience as they sleep in the residence halls and eat in the dining hall.
