NORWICH – 70 students from Norwich High School completed their training to become YES LEADers. YES LEADers are middle and high school students who teach elementary school students about skills they need to resist drugs and alcohol, the importance of positive self- esteem in making safe choices and effectively handling peer pressure.
The YES Launch training program teaches YES LEADers how to be role models for younger students through different team activities and educational sessions. Trained YES LEADers are substance-free role models for younger students, who use their leadership to develop resistance skills in elementary school children through interactive activities and age-appropriate entertainment.
