MARTIN (June 17-22) — Students from Carroll County recently joined 490 youth leaders from across the state at the Tennessee Teen Institute held on the campus of the University of Tennessee at Martin.
The Tennessee Teen Institute (TTI) is a five-day youth leadership and prevention camp sponsored by the Jackson Area Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependency (JACOA). This year marked the 30th Anniversary of the Teen Institute Program in Tennessee. The program addresses teen issues such as bullying, violence, suicide, teen pregnancy, distracted driving, teen health and substance abuse prevention through a five-day, peer-led prevention camp designed to provide teen participants with the skills and education necessary to develop and implement alcohol and drug abuse prevention programs in their own communities.
