“The Annual Youth Video Project introduced me to the drug prevention movement.  I was able to meet all these people from the Nashua Prevention Coalition who I could tell truly cared about what they did and truly believed they were making an impact in their community.  I met people from all different sectors working together with the same goal of preventing drug use among youth and that is when I decided that I wanted to get involved too.”
