LEAAD Youth Ambassadors
The youth sector of our coalition is called the LEAAD Youth Ambassadors. Our objective is to engage young people through meaningful discussions, activities, and experiences to develop and implement their own ideas to create positive change within the Loveland Community. Youth Ambassadors focus their energy toward positive action to influence others through drug-free beliefs and other healthy behaviors. The LEAAD Youth Ambassadors are the driving force behind our direction within the coalition as to what messages, activities and events would be impactful for youth in the Loveland Community.
