What is
is
?
• SADD believes that young people can have fun, enjoy life
and nurture positive personal relationships without the
distraction and distortion of alcohol. SADD seeks to
demonstrate positive and attractive alternatives to
alcohol and other drug-infused activities for teenagers.
• SADD is an inclusive, not an exclusive, organization.
SADD recognizes that the pressures on young people to
drink, use illicit drugs and engage in other unhealthy
behaviors are strong. SADD seeks not to punish or
alienate those students who make unfortunate choices
but rather aims to inform, educate, support and
empower young people to make positive decisions in
their lives.
