Kahoks Against Drugs and Alcohol (KADA) is an outstanding high school peer leadership club committed to Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD) prevention in the Collinsville Unit 10 School District.
The students of KADA shine a revealing light on ATODs with various awareness activities and prevention efforts.
KADA's partnership is a key element of Team 10 Coalition's strength. Team 10 members recognize the wonderful benefits of having a peer influence club like KADA in the Collinsville Unit 10 School District. KADA provides Team 10 important feedback from a youth's perspective and is a perfect channel to reach students within the Collinsville Unit 10 School District.
KADA students are an example of youth making healthy choices and helping others to do the same.
Community leaders and organizations acknowledge KADA for their work in schools and communities. KADA has wonderful potential for making an impact in the Collinsville community.
