Just Say YES helps equip teens to succeed by educating them through student assembly speakers and classroom curriculum. Their goal is empowering students to say yes to their dreams and goals and no to destructive choices.

Just Say YES partners with schools to provide the right speakers, media, and curriculum to help students succeed academically and in life through making positive decisions that will improve their success inside and outside of the classroom. Their speakers and resources cover a variety of topics including bullying, teen pregnancy prevention, teen dating violence, high school drop-out prevention, drug and alcohol abuse, and self image.

Just Say YES is always looking for volunteer help in a variety of different capacities, from office assistants and photographers to advocates and committee members. For a full list of opportunties, head here.

Just Say Yes' annual celebration raises funds to support the Just Say YES mission of equipping today’s youth through high-impact student assemblies, peer-to-peer mentoring programs, educator trainings, and parent programs. Each year, a noteworthy speaker delivers a keynote adress. Past speakers have incluced Jenna Bush Hager and former Dallas police chief David Brown.
