1. Train youth on skills required to educate, motivate, mobilize, and act on issues such as alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.
2. Provide youth with lifelong skills needed to create positive change on any public health, safety, or social change issue.
3. Train adults on how to support, guide, and assist youth.
Anticipated Outcomes:
The desired short term outcome is groups of youth working with adults to encourage positive change in their communities using proven, research based strategies that focus on changing the environment, thus impacting a large group of people with each effort.
The desired long-term outcomes are as follows:
1. A reduction in ATOD use by youth and adults in Louisiana.
2. Policies, laws, and enforcement that reduce underage drinking, irresponsible drinking by adults, and drug use.
3. A change in attitude about underage drinking in Louisiana to where citizens of the state clearly oppose underage drinking and work to prevent youth access and consumption of alcohol.

Hey guys, give me your input on this guy, Josh Shipp. For those who went to national, you have heard him, tell me what you think.
About me: In 2006, the Louisiana Office for Addictive Disorders held a series of forums across Louisiana to determine the best method of youth leadership programs for Louisiana. With information gathered from the forums and lessons learned from the National Academies of Science Report to Congress on Underage Drinking, the Louisiana Get Out There Training was established along with a new youth committee of students from across Louisiana called the Y'ALL Team: Youth Advocacy Leaders of Louisiana. GOT is a program of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals Office for Addictive Disorders.
