The Link Together Coalition will kick off “YOUR ACTIONS MATTER!” which is a youth-led initiative to change adult attitudes about giving alcohol to minors. The event will take place at OMNI Youth Services on Tuesday, April 29th from 3:30PM- 6:00PM Pizza is provided for all participating teens. This public awareness campaign will be taking place in stores statewide this spring. “YOUR ACTIONS MATTER!” materials were created by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission.
Local high school and middle school students are part of a movement of youth statewide working with participating stores to spread the word across Illinois that “YOUR ACTIONS MATTER!” Students, along with Buffalo Grove and Wheeling Police officers will be placing bottle hangers and posters in local businesses that sell liquor. The youth-designed campaign materials carry a positive message, and serve as a reminder that -preventing underage drinking is everyone’s responsibility.
If you have a teen (7th -12th grade) that would like to participate in this fun event, please contact Jorie at 847-353-1776
