NHS YES LEADers complete trainings to teach children how to make safe choices

NORWICH – 70 students from Norwich High School completed their training to become YES LEADers. YES LEADers are middle and high school students who teach elementary school students about skills they need to resist drugs and alcohol, the importance of positive self- esteem in making safe choices and effectively handling peer pressure.

The YES Launch training program teaches YES LEADers how to be role models for younger students through different team activities and educational sessions. Trained YES LEADers are substance-free role models for younger students, who use their leadership to develop resistance skills in elementary school children through interactive activities and age-appropriate entertainment.

Throughout the year, Norwich’s YES LEADers will visit classrooms for their unique, hands-on presentations. Norwich High School YES LEADers are also committed to helping their community. Each year, in addition to visiting classrooms, they put together exciting events including hosting a Free Family Movie Night.

YES Safe Choices is proudly sponsored by Senator Akshar and Lourdes Hospital. For more information about YES LEADS, please visit www.YesSafeChoices.org.
