SADA
 Students Against Drugs and Alcohol

Primary goal is to reach students and young adults

minds. Teach them not only the dangers of drugs, alcohol,
and tobacco, but what it has in store for their future. If we
are able to help them understand that everything they do
today, affected them in their very near future, they would
want to make better decisions to further their
opportunities in life. In a perfect world, neither children
nor adults would try, sell, or use illegal drugs. We need to
make the youth of today see the overall risk they take,
even by using one time.

Students Against Drugs and Alcohol is a non-profit

community service organization. SADA believes in
educating today's youth about drugs the proper way
before they are confronted with substances in their
everyday life.
