• HEALTHY YOUTH

  • Healthy YOUth (Youth Opportunities Unlimited) is a drug prevention program for dedicated, hard-working, and responsible ZBTHS students who have chosen to be drug-free and who want to share that commitment with others in their community.  Healthy YOUth is more than just a club.  The program is sponsored not only by ZBTHS but by the Cebrin Goodman Center and the Coalition for Healthy Communities.  Healthy YOUth members will be mentors and role models for other students who choose to live a healthy lifestyle.  To do this confidently, Healthy YOUth students will receive support and guidance throughout the year from Community Health Specialists from the Lake County Health Department and sponsors at the high school.    

    Healthy YOUth members will help organize events and participate in activities at the high school, with the Coalition for Healthy Communities, Substance Abuse Prevention Work Group, Community Awareness, and Social Norms Marketing. Some of the recent accomplishments include a successful alcohol awareness campaign and passing legislation that prevents smoking in parks and hosting underage drinking parties.

    Healthy YOUth members will meet twice a month to keep up-to-date on drug prevention, learn leadership and presentation skills, and have fun!  Members will be required to participate in our annual Retreat Night event and a Healthy YOUth training.  Meetings are held twice a month during alternating periods.
