JADD Members Attend G.O.T. Training
Teenagers from across the state came together for the "Get Out There" (G.O.T.) Training last week in Eunice at the Acadian Baptist Center. The training is designed to give youth the power to speak up and change lives in their schools and communities.
JADD members from Denham Springs High School work together in a small group to work on their Action Plan to bring back to DSHS.
Denham Springs High School JADD Club members Gabe, Kaylie, Sarah, Amy, and Blake present their plan to the group. This year's plan is to get the legal age of entering a bar in Livingston Parish from 18 to 21. At present, the law reads that an 18 year old may enter a bar but cannot drink. This group believes that plenty of under age drinking occurs inside the establishments that allow minors to enter. They want to stop that from happening!
