Cherokee Youth Council

A Drug Free Cherokee initiative, the Cherokee Youth Council (CYC) is a youth action team open to youth in grades 8-12, GED students, and homeschool students, who unite to address youth substance use in Cherokee County. Youth Council members develop an annual strategic plan for preventing and reducing alcohol and drug abuse among their peers and act as advisers to the Drug Free Cherokee coalition.

These young leaders are committed to positive alternatives to drug and alcohol use and want to make a difference in their community through:

  • Positive alternatives awareness and advocacy

  • Leadership and skills development

  • Community engagement.

  • Training in the Strategic Prevention Framework Model
