Preventing drug abuse is a goal of Project LEAD

The Project LEAD coalition met Monday afternoon to begin developing a system to help Ogle County youths avoid abusing drugs and alcohol.

"Our mission thus far is to reduce substance abuse by creating an environment to build up our youth," said Erin Clark from LSSI. "What do our kids need to be happy and healthy."

Project LEAD is Leaders Encouraging Abstinence from Drugs. The program is looking into a preventative approach in reducing the negative impact of drugs and alcohol.
