Our Youth

The Weakley County Youth Coalition is an extension of the Weakley County Prevention Coalition. The Youth Coalition is comprised of teens from several local high schools. The goal of this group is to provide peer to peer education to the youth throughout the county on the adverse effects of prescription drug abuse and misuse, alcohol, and tobacco use among teens.

TTI aids students in a great deal of knowledge on harmful drugs, alcohol, safe driving, mental health, and other important issues impacting the lives of teens across the country. Students create action plans to implement in their communities. These action plans give the youth coalition guidance and goals to meet each academic year.
