You think everybody's doing it? They're not!
If you're making good choices about drugs and alcohol, you can find people who think like you do. They are right in your own school and community.

Students Strengthen Leadership Skills at RYLA 2010
More than 30 middle school and high school students participated in the Rockwood Young Leaders Academy (RYLA) held
July 29-31 at the Babler Outdoor Education Center in Wildwood, Mo. In order to participate in the program, students had to be identified by building staff or community members on the basis of observed leadership qualities and potential. Program participants were selected from the Rockwood School District and the youth group at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Valley Park, Mo.
Through team building challenges, students learned how to set realistic goals, plan activities and recruit students to join the organizations they currently belong to. The program also focused on ways to connect students with their communities.
The Rockwood Young Leaders Academy was hosted by Rockwood’s Drug-Free Coalition in collaboration with area youth leaders.
