USYers for a Drug and
Alcohol Free Environment

Did you know that in 2003 there were 2,283 teen alcohol related fatalities?

As teens we often find ourselves in uncompromising positions concerning peer pressure, drugs, and/or alcohol. Have you waited your whole life for USY to do something about this? Well don't fret because we've got just what the Rabbi ordered!

USY, we are proud to present to you UDAFE an acronym that stands for: USYers for a Drug and Alcohol Free Environment. This group primarily stands as a support service for USYers. Along with providing an environment for support, UDAFE also introduces us to the many forms and strengths of a little two-letter word "NO!" This is a statement, which teenagers use on a daily basis but not frequently enough when confronted with the issue of drugs, alcohol, and/or other teenage pressures.

By no means do we want to tell you what to believe, or how to believe it; we just hope to provide you with moral support in dealing with these imperative situations.

SO NOW YOU ARE READY TO JOIN!!!

Joining UDAFE is very simple and only requires a little on your part. All we ask of you is to make the following pledge, and then fill out this form.

Pledge: I pledge to do my best to overcome destructive decisions and guide others towards the same path. As a member of this club, I pledge to try with all of my might to refrain from the illegal use of drugs and/or alcohol. I will try my best to stop others from doing this as well. I am taking a stand as a teen, a USYer, and a Jew to help stop my peers from doing harm to themselves and others by abusing drugs and/or alcohol.
