Teen Advisory Council | Knox Substance Abuse Action Team
The Teen Advisory Council consists of Knox County youth, grades 9 - 12, who actively work to end teen dating violence, as well as the prevention of alcohol, tobacco, and substance use among peers. TAC members are ambassadors of healthy, safe, equal, and non-violent relationships among their peers and in the community. TAC focuses on preventing unhealthy behaviors among Knox County youth before they begin. TAC students representing all Knox County schools plan and implement prevention projects intended to create change centered on individuals and the larger community. Prevention work is a project of the Knox Substance Abuse Action Team (KSAAT) and DELTA IMPACT of New Directions. Members receive leadership training, gain knowledge of critical issues impacting teens, and learn about the Knox County Community.
