Healthy YOUth

  • Healthy YOUth (Youth Opportunities Unlimited) is a drug prevention program for dedicated, hard-working, and responsible 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 Lake County Health Department and the Coalition for Healthy Communities as well. 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 of Healthy YOUth have been a successful activity day for mental health awareness and a prom button to promote safe celebrations.
    Healthy YOUth members will meet to keep up-to-date in drug prevention, learn leadership and presentation skills, get to know each other and to have fun!
