The organization advisor is Ms. Leadra Sabb, instructor at STHS. The Teen Institute Seminar empowers students to create change in their schools and communizes. The goal of the program is to prepare school teams to plan, develop and implement peer-to-peer focused prevention strategies that will reduce underage drinking, and tobacco and other drug use. During the seminar students heard speakers who addressed subjects on alcohol, drugs, higher education, and HIV/AIDS awareness. They participated in group activities with students from other schools. Students had the opportunity to take part in a ROPES Course presented by the SC National Guard, as well as an Obstacle Course and “Fatal Vision Goggles” activities sponsored by North Augusta Public Safety.
