Here is a little information about who we are/what we do:
Empowered Youth is made up of high school students across Johnson County and focuses on bringing awareness to issues around mental health, youth vaping, and underage alcohol use. Students receive training in leadership and advocacy, plan and execute strategies and activities, and receive volunteer hours and references.
Last year we:
- created messaging and videos for Red Ribbon Week
-hosted two holiday movie events at The Artcraft Theatre
-conducted Tobacco Store Audits for the state of Indiana
-recorded positive messaging for local radio and Spotify
-supported substance free post proms
-provided schools with educational messaging
-participated in leadership and advocacy training
-trained in youth suicide prevention training
-advocated for youth suicide prevention training in local schools
-created a positive Mental Health campaign including distributing wristbands to every student in Johnson County high schools
We would love to have you as part of our team! Meetings for next school year will start in September and will take place on Zoom.
