Irvine's Safe Celebrations Campaign

Safe Celebrations

End of the year celebrations offer young people an opportunity to socialize with friends as they reflect and prepare for new adventures. Unfortunately, media and other cultural forces often link alcohol use with these important events.

Helping our youth celebrate in ways that are fun, healthy and safe should be a priority. Parents and other adults should communicate and enforce a no-use expectation.

To support safe celebrations, parents and community organizations should consider hosting pre and post prom and graduation activities and events that are alcohol and other drug free.
