Founded in 1981, our non-profit has supported students all over the state through a network of school and community chapters. Our organization provides education, training, workshops, scholarships, and fun events related to youth health and safety. These resources are available to middle school, high school, and university students by becoming official SADD members, free of charge. Students gain resume-worthy experience in an inclusive community that promotes positive choices to succeed in school and in life. SADD resources are also available to community partners who share our mission of youth health and safety to support others and improve North Carolina.
By joining or partnering with SADD, we will supply the programming and resources that matter most to you. Using 40 years of expertise and research, NC SADD is dedicated to understanding and overcoming youth challenges that our youth face nationally and regionally. We provide support for initatives like:
