We would like to cordially invite you to our county-wide "I'm Aware" Youth
Empowerment Workshop, a culminating Red Ribbon Week event, to be held at
Chipola College from 9:00am until 12:00pm October 31st for Jackson, Liberty
and Washington Counties 9th and 10th grade students. This event is sponsored
by the Panhandle Area Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Coalition, Inc. and
many community partners which are composed of local county health
departments, community based organizations, and local area school boards.
The principal goals of the event are to provide impressionable youths with
tools to make the "right" choices and avoid risky behaviors that may involve
tobacco, alcohol, and drugs; that choices they make today may impact their
lives later; and thirdly that their choices may also have an impact on
others. Please preview the
