Youth In Action
How would you like to bust convenience store clerks for not checking IDs? Maybe you’d rather hang out outside the store and ask adults to buy you beer? Even better, how would you like to do it with the help of the police? If you are involved in MADD’s
Youth In Action
program, those are just a couple of projects you would be working on.
Youth In Action
gets
you
involved in preventing underage drinking with projects that focus on reducing underage access to alcohol by targeting social and retail access, and working with law enforcement to support the enforcement of underage drinking laws. It’s
you
taking action.

Social Host
Thinking about hosting a party where youth under 21 have access to alcohol? Think again.
Social host liability
refers to laws that hold individuals responsible for underage drinking events on property they own, lease or otherwise control. Unlike laws that prohibit furnishing alcohol to youth under 21, social host laws focus on preventing underage drinking on private property without regard to who furnishes the alcohol.
