PREVENTION WITH A PURPOSE The Power of the Youth Voice

What is your why for staying substance-free?

Every young person has a reason—a goal, a dream, a passion, or a person they care about—that motivates them to make healthy choices.

That’s why Community Coalition Alliance is inviting youth to participate in Prevention With A Purpose, a statewide video initiative that gives young people the opportunity to share their personal “why” for staying substance-free.

Whether it’s excelling in sports, pursuing a future career, supporting their family, protecting their mental health, or simply making choices that align with their values, every story has the power to inspire others.

Show us your creative talents!

This opportunity is open to any youth, grades 6th -12th grade, living in the State of Florida.

WHAT CAN BE SUBMITTED: 

  • Video– A short video that shares your why
    Audio Clip– Original music/ spoken word poetry

RULES:

  • If submitting a video, must be between 15 seconds to a 1 minute long. If your video contains people (including yourself), they should fill out the Media Release Form when submitting content.
