Get the basics on how to start a walking school bus at your school. Youth In Action
Instead of targeting high school students with a message, Youth In
Action looks at the whole environment that seems to condone underage
drinking. From the store clerk who doesn't check IDs, to the police officer
who might pour out the beer and send teens home, to the adults who don't
mind buying beer for a kid who slips him an extra $10 — YIA teams look for
community solutions instead of focusing their attention on their peers.
Teams focus on laws and policies that affect people's behavior, because
that's the best place to make changes. |
