40 Years-40 Stories | Story #11: UthMpact Rocks!
UthMpact is our youth coalition comprised of 40 outstanding student leaders, all working together to create a more positive teen culture in Polk County. One powerful way they accomplish this? Social norming campaigns in schools!
How It Works
Students are asked what percentage of teens in Polk County use alcohol or other drugs. At first, students may guess incorrectly that it's a higher percentage; however, by the end of the campaign, they answer correctly - learning most teens do NOT use drugs. When students know the FACTs, they feel empowered to make healthy choices, stay away from alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, and support each other to stay drug free.
