"REALITY PARTY for PARENTS" -- Three events in April
In
connection with Alcohol
Awareness month, Straight Up youth will expose the local
culture of underage and binge drinking through two live stage
presentations and a Reality Party house tour event.
Our
goal is to promote parent understanding of the problems, foster
relevant parent/teen dialogue about these issues, and to promote
family and community policies that help keep teens safe. Each
performance will be followed by community discussion. These
events are for adults.
