WHAT: The Milwaukee County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition hosts its annual Drug Free Youth Summit on
Wednesday, April 12 from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Neu-Life Community Development, 2014 W North Avenue,
Milwaukee WI.
With heroin overdoses and marijuana use among youth at an all-time high, MCSAP and Neu-Life Development will
bring together over 100 high school youth and provide them with positive messages and activities to educate and
inspire them to stay clear of drugs.
With the theme of “Drug Free Future,” The Summit welcomes presenters from organizations across Milwaukee
County and features a lunch panel discussion of people who overcame their addiction to drugs to live healthy, and
drug free.
The day culminates with a Let’s be Blunt media activity, where youth will be put into teams and challenged to develop
concepts and messages that will be used in an upcoming teen anti-drug campaign.
