PICKENS — The mission of the Steppin’ It Up Coalition is to strengthen a generation of youth in Pickens County who are armed with the knowledge, motivation, and support to combat the temptations of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

The April Steppin’ It Up Coalition Meeting will be held            Monday, April 11, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at the Pickens Recreation Center, located at 545 Sangamo Road in Pickens.

Meetings are open to anyone interested in educating youth on the dangers and health implications of alcohol, tobacco and drug exposure and use.  The Steppin’ It Up Coalition of Pickens County targets youth, parents and other adults who impact where youth get access to drugs and alcohol, and how, why and when they choose to use.
