Click above to learn more about ADSIP!

The Alcohol and Drug Student Information Program (ADSIP) is a peer leadership program designed to train high school students to serve as positive role models for younger students. New Peer Leaders attend a day-long training in the fall and then meet with all Peer Leaders from their school for a second day of training. Peer Leaders then develop their own presentations for elementary school children about the dangers of alcohol and drugs. Each school year, ADSIP Peer Leaders present lessons and activities to more than 5,000 elementary students!
