The Impact of Alcohol, Drugs, and Opioids on Youth and our Community

Project Period:  January 15 - April 22, 2024

The Youth Wellness Ambassadors are:

• Researching and learning about alcohol and drugs, including opioids, and how they impact youth in our community.

• Designing a digital survey to deploy to students.

• Developing a video presentation to share with students. 

Help students gain more information about how alcohol, drugs, and opioids have impacted youth in their community by taking this online (5 min. or less) anonymous survey.

Meet the Fremont Youth Wellness Ambassadors!

 Arav Tyagi, a Junior at Mission San Jose High School, formulated this year's City of Fremont, Human Services Department, Youth and Family Services Division's Youth Wellness Ambassador Community Service Project upon noticing a surge in drug usage in his school community.  His objective is to conduct research and gather information to aid the City in enhancing awareness and response to this issue.  Leveraging his background as a former (2023) Youth Wellness Ambassador, Arav decided to lead this year's initiative.  In addition to his project involvement, Arav leads the LINK Committe at Mission San Jose High School.  This committee, comprised of specially selected students, provides support for the smooth transition of incoming freshmen, spreads awareness about sensitive subjects, and organizes events to enhance student well-being.
