Delta Youth Advisory Board

Delta DHS and Delta HP are students who work to inspire their peers to lead healthy, drug-free lifestyles through awareness and prevention activities. It’s great for any student who wants to make a positive difference and for students considering a helping career, such as politics, healthcare, counseling, teaching or community organizing.

To make positive change in Deerfield & Highland Park High Schools, Delta members:
  • Promote drug-free messages such as the You Got This!, YOU MATTER and MOST OF YOU campaigns
  • Organize fun educational activities such as trivia games & chalk art
  • Collaborate with community leaders and organizations
  • Receive professional guidance on strategies proven to make a difference
  • Conduct surveys to help develop awareness campaigns and measure progress
