Dearborn County Youth Ambassadors volunteer outside of their school and extra-curricular commitments to advocate for substance abuse awareness. These individuals strive to provide leadership in our community by setting an example for all of our local youth. They host a Youth Summit each Spring for Dearborn County 8th graders and lead school assemblies for elementary students with their "SPARKS" program.
