Just Say Yes is a commitment to our young people to create conditions that set them up for success. Our coalition works together to alter the environmental factors that make kids more or less likely to engage in risky behaviors. Factors like access to fun, healthy activities when school’s out, and parents and caregivers that are connected, supported and informed about what kids need to thrive.
