Spill The Tea Initiative

We envision a world where every teenager, regardless of their identity, has access to safe spaces, meaningful connections, and the support they need to make healthy choices. By connecting peers through safe spaces, we strive to create a world where all teens feel they can talk openly about their relationship with substances with their peers.

Joy for Kids

By 2040 no youth in San Diego should feel that substance use is the only solution. Every youth will have access to mentorship, sobriety, and a clear path to success.

Elevate the Youth

Elevate the Youth aims to create a world in which youth have the option to be their best self. Starting with San Diego, every kid should be allowed to compete and be the best version of themselves, instead of using substances.
