What is Straight Up?

WE ARE teens and young adults (and some "old" adults) who are concerned about the dangerous levels of underage and binge drinking and the tragedies that we see happening in our Ventura County communities because of alcohol. Family Festival sponsored by beer company

WE SEE that our culture accepts, allows, encourages, and often expects underage and binge drinking.

Mother and DaughterWE FEEL that blaming youth doesn't help and scare tactics don't work.

WE BELIEVE that alcohol problems are community issues and that to change these problems we need to change our community environments.

WE WANT our community to be a safe, positive and healthy place for youth.

WE WORK in collaboration with our schools, youth groups, community coalitions, law enforcement, City and County governments and concened teens and parents to promote change.
