Here's what you missed from Teen Institute this weekend...🎬

Let's welcome our newest team member, Heather Kish, to PreventEd! Heather joined us as a Senior Accountant about two months ago and has been a wonderful addition to our staff so far. While her primary role revolves around finances, Heather is a vital puzzle piece in our mission. She says she is proud to be a part of this organization because our work surrounds a topic that can be heavy, but we help get ahead of the curve. Addiction can seem endless, secretive and dark—PreventEd sheds light on it and teaches the truth.

Everyone give Heather a warm welcome! We are so glad to have her. 😊 👋

What an incredible weekend of Teen Institute! Our participants, staff and interns had a great time learning and leading.

Small groups, tough talks, team challenges, yoga, tie-dye, ice cream, s’mores, and so much growth. These teens showed up and showed out all weekend. Proud of this crew! 💛
