YES: Youth Experts Speak | OnTrack
In Fall 2020, OnTrack! Anti-Drug Coalition created and initiated the YES: Youth Experts Speak youth voice project. Materials include questions for a guided conversation led by adults with groups of young people they already know.
​​
OnTrack! wants to listen and here is what some of our local young people had to say:
​
On virtual learning:
"People who are extroverts and want to see others are going to continue to struggle with it, and I worry about some people's mental health as we continue to social distance.
How do we provide those social interactions in this new setting?"
​
On vaping:
"People don't realize it is addictive or that there are long-term repercussions."
​
"If adults are doing it they don't want to talk about it because they don't want to be a hypocrite."
​
On Community:
"There are people that need and want help. We need to find paths to help them move forward."
​
Are you interested in leading a YES: Youth Experts Speak conversation?
