Youth To Youth

YOUTH TO YOUTH International (Y2Y) was founded in 1982 in Columbus, Ohio, as a community-based drug prevention and youth leadership program focusing primarily on middle school and high school students. The goal of its many projects is harnessing the powerful influence of peer pressure and making it a positive force that encourages young people to live free of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs. Castro Valley High School’s Y2Y is modeled after the Y2Y International program. Castro Valley’s Youth 2 Youth puts on a yearly conference for middle school students. Check our calendar for upcoming Y2Y events and meetings.

 This AMAZING conference is an opportunity for middle school teens to spend the day with high school leaders who believe in themselves and making healthy choices and decisions such as being drug, alcohol, and tobacco free. But this conference is about so much more than drug and alcohol prevention it’s about leadership, self-confidence and empowering young people to make positive choices that impact their future.

This fun filled all day event, consists of games, team building activities, inspirational speakers, workshops, small group sessions, and so much more all focusing on helping teens to make positive choices in their lives. The day ends with a fabulous DJ and dance!

About the Conference

Y2Y has been in Castro Valley since 2003.  The conference is an entire day where the kids get together, have fun, and talk about some really important issues.  Teens with Y2Y training have been working enthusiastically for several months to prepare for the big day.  More than 30 of our local high school students will work at the conference, guiding their younger peers through skits, games, panel discussions, and small group activities.  More than 10 workshops will be offered throughout the day, such as building self esteem, dance, what to expect in high school, drug & alcohol information and communication skills.  The conference will end with a dance.  Youth 2 Youth creates opportunities for teens to support each other in decisions to be drug free and focuses on topics that youth face today.  The learning and fun continues from morning till night during a Y2Y conference.   If your kids like hanging out with their friends, meeting new friends, having fun, dancing and good food – then this is the conference for them.
