Prevention Rallies focus on reinforcing critical substance abuse resistance skills before students enter middle school. Facts show that the majority of young people choose not to use drugs or alcohol. Over the past few weeks, students have been challenged to participate in the Fifth Grade Rally for The Facts Contest to create original posters, poems, and essays that illustrate the benefits of making healthy choices. Contest winners will be recognized during the Rally and community leaders and law enforcement members will be on hand to encourage the students to find effective ways to deal with everyday pressures and challenges in their lives without resorting to substance use.
The mission of InnerAct Alliance is to reduce the abuse and underage use of harmful substances along with involvement in other risky behaviors through: Community Awareness and Involvement; Prevention Education; Economic Support; and Leadership Development. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency is proud to have provided substance abuse prevention to the Hardee, Highlands and Polk County communities since 1985 with services including science-based education in elementary and middle schools, youth leadership opportunities, teen-driven social marketing, and awareness events that touch the lives of youth, parents, families, businesses, faith-based organizations, community groups and others with an important substance abuse prevention message.
