Ways to Serve

Influence the Choice (ITC) invites you to volunteer at an upcoming workshop, conference, activity or event!
​

• Action Forum for Youth - A breakfast event and data presentation on trends in youth substance use and mental wellbeing. 
• Power of Me, Power of We - Leadership development conference for middle school students.
• Hidden in Plain Sight - A re-creation of a teenage bedroom with signs of hidden substance-use for parents to find.
• Art with Influence - A student video PSA and visual art contest and awards night. Kids create Public Service Announcements in 2-minute video form or 2D art on how they avoid substance use and care for their mental health.
• Community Dinners (with a side of prevention education!)
• Resource Fairs.
