Last night we volunteered at the 9th annual Taste of Vernon! 🍽️🌮🧁

We helped local restaurants set up, collected tickets, and did whatever it took to ensure the night ran smoothly.

A huge thank you to the Vernon Chamber of Commerce for trusting us to help and for their generous donation to our club.

We are so grateful to give back while being apart of something so special. 💛

April is Alcohol Awareness Month❕

We used the Fatal Vision Goggles to show our peers how alcohol and ma*****na can impact the body & mind. 🥽🧠

Simple tasks became difficult like walking in a straight line, reacting quickly, staying focused, and judging the distance between us and a chair.

These goggles gave us a glimpse into how impaired perception and slowed decision making can affect real-life situations— especially when it comes to driving. 🚙

The takeaway is simple: if you’re under the influence, don’t get behind the wheel. ❌

Protect yourself, your friends, and everyone else on the road. ✅ 🫶🏼

Today, Above The Influence partnered with DASI to bring awareness to Teen Dating Violence Prevention. Students took time to reflect and share something positive about themselves- a reminder that how we talk to ourselves shapes our confidence and the way we treat others. 💜

Choose kindness, always!

Wallkill ATI students had the opportunity to hear from Rylee, who shared how the Vernon Action Group helped shape her into the leader she is today.

She spoke about engaging peers, stepping into leadership roles, and making a positive impact, as well as how the program prepared her for life after high school and her college journey.

We’re grateful she came back to inspire the leaders of today! 🩵
