Challenges and Solutions

I challenge you to design and lead a youth-powered initiative that reduces vaping and marijuana use among Detroit high school students by strengthening community accountability, reducing access, and reshaping norms around substance use.

I challenge you to design an innovative approach that empowers young people to counteract social media messages that glamorize or encourage substance use.

I challenge you to lead an initiative that increases opportunities for young people to safely connect and support one another in talking about their relationship to substances; including opening pathways to existing resources in your community that support mitigating substance use.

I challenge you to educate your peers about why vaping isn’t cool by designing a solution that reverses its appeal and makes youth access more difficult.
