What is YPC?
Youth Partnership for Change (YPC) is a program designed to empower young
people to raise awareness in their community about the number one drug of
choice for young people in Texas—alcohol.
Who are YPC Presentations for? YPC presentations are designed for
middle school, high school, college, adult community members and parent
groups in both school, faith-based and community settings.
How long are the presentations?
YPC presentations are designed to be approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
When are presentations available?
Since high school and college students will be delivering the
presentations, most of our presentations will be scheduled after school,
evenings and weekends.
What are presentations like?
Community Educators between the ages of 16-21 years old will share their
knowledge through exciting interactive community presentations to help
peers, parents, and community members understand the real dangers and
consequences of underage alcohol use. The community presentations will
include:
Ø
The Latest Research
on Mental and Physical Effects of Alcohol
Ø
Information regarding
the Texas laws on underage drinking
Ø
Personal
stories/Victim Impact
Ø
Community Empowerment
Strategies
