Pictured, from left, Owego Free Academy YES! LEADers Mikayla Weston, Ben Siemer, Sara Wierbowski, and Erica Sandtorv\u00a0work together on the Life Raft activity, an activity designed to encourage teamwork and communication development during their YES! Launch training.<\/p><\/div>\n

Sixteen students from Owego Free Academy completed their training to become YES! LEADers. YES! LEADers are middle and high school students who teach elementary school students about skills they need to resist drugs and alcohol, the importance of positive self-esteem in making safe choices and effectively handling peer pressure.<\/p>\n

The YES! Launch training program teaches YES! LEADers how to be role models for younger students through different team activities and educational sessions. Trained YES! LEADers are substance-free role models for younger students, who use their leadership skills to develop resistance skills in elementary school children through interactive activities and age appropriate entertainment.<\/p>\n

Later in the school year, Owego\u2019s YES! LEADers will visit elementary classrooms for their unique, hands-on presentations. They\u2019re also committed to helping their community throughout the year, and will host a variety of outreach projects.<\/p>\n

YES! Safe Choices for Kids, a partnership between Senator Libous and Lourdes Hospital, is now in its 26th year.<\/p>\n
