The program provokes students to ask what differences they would like to participate in fulfilling.
Bruce Gay is a student who has been greatly influenced by Student Let Coalition. He first heard of UMADAOP after being referred there for a drug and alcohol course. Bruce says that the programs and people have, “Helped with not only my growth, but the growth of my community.” Bruce spoke about what the program taught him. He said, “I’ve learned a lot of things while working with UMADAOP, but some of the most important things… include [maintaining] a strong network; the importance of community.” Students like Bruce have been influenced and have made their own impacts by participating in the Youth Led Coalition. He says that in the next chapter of his life, Bruce will be attending college, where he plans to be intentional about plugging into another healthy community.
