    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. Learn More About 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.
