Having worked with DFYIT for over five years, The ThinkTank is very proud to support the organization’s efforts to empower students across South Florida to live their lives without the influence of drugs or alcohol. DFYIT is a nationally recognized, community-based substance abuse prevention organization that focuses on and gives recognition to students who choose to live a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. Through its 60 DFYIT clubs in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties middle and senior high schools, DFYIT provides teens with social competency training, drug awareness counseling, conflict resolution skills, positive adult relationships, and pro-social involvement in their school and community.
In the special appearance on WBEC-TV’s Teen Talk, DFYIT student members and staff discussed the dangers of drugs, alcohol and violence and how the DFYIT program helps students to make positive decisions and to become advocates to their peers and community. DFYIT student members shared their past experiences with peer pressure and how the tools that they gained from the DFYIT program helped them to resist the temptation of alcohol and drugs. Members of the DFYIT staff also shared their experiences working with teens on the frontline of youth prevention.From everyone at The ThinkTank and on behalf of the South Florida community, a huge congratulations to DFYIT for the great work you do!
