Youth voices matter. 💜
We are incredibly proud of CiC Youth Leaders Ana Carolina Borbolla Menaré and Nandana Thannickal, who were selected by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) as Drug-Free Communities Youth Prevention Champions.
Together, they helped create national prevention messaging and videos designed *by young people, for young people, *bringing youth voices to the forefront of prevention. This messaging will be shown in Major League Baseball stadiums this post season as well as shared on various social media platforms.
While Ana and Nandana were preparing to begin college and couldn't attend the event in Washington, D.C., CiC team member Susan Visser attended on their behalf, representing CiC and celebrating their accomplishments.
One highlight? A private tour of the West Wing of the White House for Youth Prevention Champions and coalition leaders. 🇺🇸
**Youth voices. Youth leadership. Youth impact. **
We couldn't be prouder. 💜
