Encouraging young people to live healthy and positive lives.
Youth to Youth was founded in 1982 in Columbus, Ohio, as a community-based drug prevention and youth leadership program focusing primarily on middle school and high school students.
The goal of its many projects is harnessing the powerful influence of peer pressure—making it a positive force that encourages young people to live free of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
Central Ohio Programs
Nationally Youth to Youth is the recognized leader for engaging youth in positive change. We achieve this in Central Ohio through our weekly high school meetings as well as other initiatives and projects.
Speaking & Training Services
Youth to Youth has a multitude of trainings that we can bring to your school or community to effectively engage youth in positive change, leadership, and advocacy. You can also talk to our Training Director, Ty Sells and have a training customized to meet your needs. Our goal is to offer an experience that informs and energizes your youth, and the adults who care about them, so they want to continue to build upon that experience to improve themselves, their school, and their community.
Summer Conferences
Youth to Youth conferences address issues that are relevant to teens. They are designed for youth and their supporting adults to participate together in all aspects of the conference for a uniquely shared experience. Working side by side, they will have the opportunity to construct and/or revitalize a plan of action to implement back home. Adults will also have opportunities to network with other like-minded adults and to learn effective strategies to guide their teens to success.
