"It all starts with you, and SADD provides the tools to help you become a better person. If you try SADD, you will see that you will not only change your life but change countless lives."

~ Kevin Sledge
Epps High School, Epps, Louisiana

"We think SADD is awesome, and it has made a positive difference in our lives by teaching us not to do drugs, to be ourselves, and to love ourselves."

~ Kristen Ruse
Caloosa Middle School, Cape Coral, Florida

"As a result of our involvement in SADD, our entire school community is better equipped to manage the risks of adolescence, more willing to talk openly and often about the challenges that confront young people, and even more confident in its ability to stand up and do the right thing."

~ David Dummer, Counselor & SADD Advisor
Phoenix Country Day School, Phoenix, Arizona

"In every community, in every state, there are young people who feel passionately about the issues affecting them and their peers. SADD sets a standard for those youth and provides them with the tools and the support network they need to enact change. Invariably, that change begins inside their own hearts."

~ Lee Erickson, SADD State Coordinator


Northern Lights SADD, North Dakota & Minnesota"Kudos on another inspiring conference. Once again, I was struck by the commitment, energy, and talent of the students and their advisors. Thanks to you, the amazing staff and volunteers across the country, SADD really excels at being care centered and providing a family-like environment where young people feel safe enough to stretch themselves in ways that promote leadership, growth, and healthy bodies and minds."
