What is Youth in Action? Youth in Action is a MADD program designed to reduce underage drinking by targeting social and retail availability of alcohol for youth under the age of 21 and by supporting the enforcement of underage drinking laws. YIA partners youth with law enforcement, educates adults in the community, and targets alcohol sales to minors. By reducing the access of alcohol to minors, this program aims to reduce the amount of youth engaging in underage drinking.
The mission of Youth In Action is to reduce the social and retail availability of alcohol to minors and support enforcement of underage drinking laws.
YIA is important because alcohol is the number one drug of choice for American youth and kills more youth than all other illicit drugs combined.
The goal of YIA is to reduce youth access to alcohol by increasing awareness and enforcement of alcohol laws for alcohol retailers and community members.
