Every day, youth across the country are exposed to drugs, alcohol, and gang influence often before they even know the risks

Teen drivers are disproportionately involved in fatal and injury-causing alcohol-related crashes. Despite years of public service campaigns and school presentations, many young people still underestimate the risks. That's why immersive, emotional, and community-driven programs like Every 15 Minutes are so important. They don’t just tell students the facts—they show them the fallout.

What can you do to help at risk youth?

Many youth turn to substance abuse or gang life in search of belonging and an escape from personal struggles. At AND, we show them a different way—one where they can channel their emotions into something meaningful. Art becomes their tool for self-discovery, healing, and hope.

At Art Not Drugs, we've developed an innovative educational program that goes beyond traditional methods, harnessing the transformative force of art to engage youth in a meaningful way.
