Every 15 Minutes

Every 3 years we offer an anti-drinking and driving program called "Every 15 Minutes" which is an experiential high-impact and community involving program aimed at helping high schoolers resist the pressures to drink and drive.

Every 15 Minutes

Life's lessons are best learned through experience. Unfortunately, when the target audience is teens and the topic is drinking and driving, experience is not the teacher of choice."
