Youth VOICE Council

SAFE Project’s Youth VOICE (Volunteer, Opportunity, Inspire, Connect, Empower) Council was formed in 2023. Our founding high school members have been doing fantastic work in their communities, empowering teens to overcome the stigma of mental health and substance use disorders. The council meets regularly to discuss new initiatives. Are you a high school student looking to get involved? Learn more by submitting our form below — a member of the SAFE Project team will respond with more information and ways to get involved with the council!

SAFE Project’s Youth VOICE Council generally meets twice a month.

Learn More About Our SAFE Locator

SAFE Project’s SAFE Locator allows users to find treatment centers, family support organizations, and recovery homes. You can access it directly here. To ensure that people can identify and access the most accurate information about what is available near them, it is critical that these facilities provide their information to be included in the database and periodically update their profile. 

Volunteers can check with local support organizations and recovery homes to add their information to this locator, making it nationally accessible to those seeking help!
