Forty years ago, when InnerAct Alliance first opened its doors, many people believed that substance abuse was inevitable—that "all kids do it."
We believed something different.
We believed that most young people want to make positive choices. We believed that with the right support, education, and community backing, prevention could work better than intervention. And after four decades of serving Hardee, Highlands, and Polk Counties, the data proves we were right.
Today, 87% of Polk students say no to marijuana. 88% reject vaping. The overwhelming majority of our young people are establishing healthy habits. For example in 2010 18% of Polk's kids were drinking alcohol, now only 11% drink. From a positive perspective, 72% were not using but only a short 15 years later, 89% do not drink.
But here's what many don't realize: these remarkable outcomes don't happen by accident. They happen because of committed community members like you who invest in prevention before problems take root.
