National D.A.R.E. America Youth Advisory Board

The National D.A.R.E. America Youth Advisory Board met for its 11th annual conference the weekend of November 19-21, 2010 in Quantico, Virginia at the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Training Academy. This was the 10th year that DEA hosted the conference in partnership with D.A.R.E.  This year’s training conference focused on drug trends, presentation skills, Internet safety, dating abuse and teamwork. The students also had a once in a lifetime experience visiting Washington D.C. attraction and participating in DEA Clan lab tactical activities and firearms demonstrations. This board, having met with dozens of other motivated students and now armed with a great deal of knowledge, are excited to work hard in their communities for D.A.R.E. until they graduate from high school.
