The SADD journey doesn’t end at graduation. The Emerging Leaders Council (ELC) is a national network of college students and young professionals who remain connected to the SADD mission as they advance through college, careers, and community leadership.

​

ELC members extend SADD’s impact beyond high school by bringing its values to college campuses, workplaces, and communities nationwide. Through alumni engagement, fundraising support, strategic communications, and mentorship of current students, members strengthen Chapter 81 and help grow the next generation of SADD leaders, while building professional skills, expanding networks, and shaping the future of youth health

and safety advocacy.
