Students outline World Changers programs: YADAP, financial fair, YourSpace and WILAC
Summary
Members of the World Changers described YADAP (a week-long prevention program at CNU), the Pennies to Dollars financial literacy fair ("over 100 attendees"), YourSpace on-campus reset spaces, and a new WILAC alcohol-awareness campaign launching with a Newport News partner.
Student leaders from the World Changers walked the council through several programs they operate or helped create. Dominic Barham and peers described YADAP (the Youth Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Program) as a week-long program hosted at CNU; student presenters said teams that participated previously won a $250 mini grant to fund school-based substance-use reduction projects. The group also summarized the Pennies to Dollars Financial Literacy Fair, which they said drew "over 100 attendees" and used a game-based format to teach budgeting and long-term decision-making.
Students detailed ongoing and planned initiatives including YourSpace, a small on-campus reset room at Phoebus High School offering aromatherapy and short breaks to reduce stress, and WILAC, a youth-led alcohol awareness campaign the students said will launch in partnership with a Newport News team. The presenters said these activities are designed to pair peer support with prevention education and mentorship.
