It’s not easy being a teen today. It’s not easy being a parent either.
Have you ever wished your child came with a "how to" manual? Or, perhaps you just long for a "trouble shooting guide" for when your child enters adolescence? If so, you are not alone! CY believes that parenting a child is one of the most difficult tasks there is in life. Requiring more than just a good sense of humor--although that is important--it takes real skill! Not only that, but you can’t be everywhere to guide your teens as they make choices. YOU DO INFLUENCE YOUR CHILDREN! Talk with your kids to prepare them to make healthy decisions. Educate yourself on the risks of underage drinking and drug use and talk openly and often with your teen. |

CY's mission is to promote a culture that develops in our youth the power and conviction to make healthy choices. Our primary purpose is to encourage a "no-use" community norm around alcohol, tobacco,and other drug use by young people. We believe success can be achieved only by involving all segments of our communities. "Whether we are young or old, male or female, rich or poor, we are ALL responsible for the children our culture is raising" Peter Benson, Search Institute
