The SADD journey doesn’t end at graduation. The Emerging Leaders Council (ELC) is a national network of college students and young professionals who are passionate about staying connected to the SADD mission as they build their academic and professional lives.

​

ELC members bring the values of SADD into new spaces, including college campuses, workplaces, and communities, while supporting current students and expanding SADD’s reach beyond high school. Through collaboration on national initiatives, mentoring younger leaders, and creating new opportunities for alumni engagement, members grow their leadership skills and help shape the future of youth health and safety advocacy.
