Admission is $28.52 including a light breakfast and lunch. Register using the QR code below:
Own The Upside was initiated by the Drug Free Coalition partnership of Hardee, Highlands, and Polk counties in Central Florida and founded on the Positive Community Norms Theory. Negatives often heard in media and society may make us forget that there are many encouraging positives to celebrate the "upside."
Data collected annually via the Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey (FYSAS) reports that most youth do not engage in risky behaviors. Own The Upside (OTUS) believes in supporting youth through proactive prevention programs to reduce access, identify risky behaviors, change community attitudes towards alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, and empower young people to make positive healthy choices.
