Our Mission

Influence the Choice is a non-profit, community-based, grass roots organization dedicated to preventing substance use and promoting the mental, physical, and social wellness of our youth.

Youth

Over the past ten years, we have worked tirelessly on behalf of the mental health and wellness of the youth in our service area. Through our community and school district education efforts and ongoing programs like our annual student video contest, youth leadership conferences, the Action Forum for Youth, Hidden in Plain Sight exhibit, and much more, we work to assure that our students and their families have the opportunity to engage and thrive!

Pressing Needs

Substance use prevention and mental health promotion are the most robust and cost-effective methods of supporting our youth that we can offer. In this light, Influence the Choice will be working with you, our community, to make certain that we are financially stable when our federal grant ends. Environmental strategies of change require consistent engagement to provide lasting outcome. Help us stay up stream in support of the health of all our youth for a long time to come.
