The PATH Project ensures students have an opportunity to take the lead and create meaningful change in their communities on the issue of youth marijuana prevention. Our youth coalition builds and supports young students to be leaders in their community. iPATH (I Perform Above The High) members will be provided with fun, innovative, leadership training on public speaking, marijuana prevention, policy/advocacy work, leadership skills, and social norm change.
