Who We Are
Welcome to the Spink County Coalition + SADD Chapter, where students lead the way and real change starts with YOU.
Since 2010, the Spink County Coalition has been working to make our community healthier, safer, and stronger. And now, with the power of SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and a growing team of passionate student leaders, we’re putting youth voices front and center.
Whether it's stopping vaping, preventing drunk driving, spreading mental health awareness, or simply making school a more positive place we're here to take action and stand up for what matters.
What We’re All About
It all started with a vision: to support positive choices and prevention in Spink County. Over the years, the coalition has partnered with schools, parents, law enforcement, and healthcare professionals. But we knew something was missing...YOU.
When young people get involved, everything changes. That’s why we launched a student-led platform powered by SADD—so teens can lead campaigns, create events, and inspire their peers. No one understands what students face like other students do.
And no matter your background—your identity, story, or journey—you belong here.
What We Do
Safe Driving Campaigns
Red lights, seatbelts, sober rides—we bring awareness to distracted and impaired driving through pledge walls, student-led events, and creative campaigns.
Vaping, Alcohol & Drug Prevention
We share the truth about risky behaviors and give students real tools to make healthy choices. No lectures—just support, facts, and real talk.
Mental Health Awareness
Your mental health matters. We create safe spaces for honest conversations, host positivity projects, and connect students with resources and hope.
Kindness & Inclusion Initiatives
From anti-bullying campaigns to peer support activities, we stand up for each other and make sure no one feels alone or left out.
What We Believe
Intersectionality Matters
We recognize that everyone’s experiences are unique. We aim to amplify the voices of students from all walks of life—especially those who’ve been marginalized or overlooked.
Students Lead the Way
This isn’t just for you—it’s run by you. We give students the platform to lead events, design campaigns, and shape a better future.
Change Starts Here
Every big movement starts with one small step. You can be the spark that lights the way for others.
