Oregon Partnership YouthLink consists of several programs that work to prevent substance abuse and suicide among youth. Through prevention education, community outreach, youth driven media awareness campaigns, and peer to peer mentoring, OPYL programs “bring youth voice to action”. OPYL’s various programs include Youth Advisory Council, which focuses on preventing substance abuse, Youthline, a confidential teen-to-teen crisis line, and Youth Mentoring. If you are a teen that wants to help out in your community, YouthLink might be for you. You can be involved in a number of ways, through service projects and programs that are fun and inspiring. Your contribution will provide you with the opportunity to make a difference in your home, school, neighborhood, community, city, and state!
