We are students from Woonsocket Middle School, Woonsocket High School and Mount St. Charles, in grades 6 to 12, who are committed to a substance free lifestyle.

We participate in monthly meetings. We have guest speakers, discussion questions, and a lot of fun! We also participate in various community service projects, an annual youth conference, and other substance abuse prevention issues affecting Woonsocket youth. Community service hours are given for attending Youth Committee events!  Community Service is important when you start to fill out college applications because colleges are looking not just at grades and SAT scores.  They are looking at a "well-rounded" student

Come to our monthly meetings, usually the first Tuesday of each month. at Woonsocket City Hall, 169 Main Street, on the 3^rd Floor at 2:30pm. The meetings last until 4:00pm.
