Community News:

D-FY-IT is a prevention program for youth 7th through 12th grade. There are other programs in Midland that encourage prevention of underage drinking and drugging.

As of July 1st, 2007, D-FY-IT became a program of PDAP: Palmer Drug Abuse Program. This merger will offer many new opportunities for D-FY-IT to make a bigger difference in our community. The Midland Coalition, another program of PDAP, is dedicated to changing laws making it harder for youth to purchase alcohol. This is only one of the many opportunities D-FY-IT members will be able to be involved. D-FY-IT will continue to do the random drug testing on each Midland County campus, host the Red Ribbon activities during Red Ribbon Week in October, host the Mr. Gatti's Lock-in and the Hollywood Theatre Lock-in, the Red Ribbon Run:  5K, and 1K event.

There will be many more opportunities as the two programs begin on this new path and discover the power that drives focused goal oriented people for the betterment of the Midland Community.

Please contact Mitchell Moore, executive director for PDAP at 432-685-3645 if you have any questions.

 

D-FY-IT is a voluntary program for youth to learn leadership skills and assist their peers to stay drug and alcohol free. The community and merchants offer discounts and incentives for those youth who participate in staying drug free.

D-FY-IT is offered to those youth in grades 7th through 12th who attend an accredited school, public, private, or home school.

Company Profile

D-FY-IT provides a confidential avenue for youth to voluntarily stay drug free with incentives and activities.

D-FY-IT works closely with school counselors and parents if a problem is identified.

Parents have asked D-FY-IT for additional information regarding drug testing and identification signs that their child may be using alcohol or drugs. D-FY-IT is a program that can offer this information as well as referrals to organizations that can help if a problem exists. D-FY-IT is also a deterrent for youth to engage in alcohol or drug use, focusing on prevention.

D-FY-IT is a member of the Non-Profit Management Center, Permian Basin Advertising Association, and American Volunteer Association.

Recently having visited with a college freshman who was a D-FY-IT member when she was in high school, she told me she is starting an alcohol awareness group on her college campus. "Without the guidance, encouragement and leadership skill I learned with D-FY-IT, I would not have begun such a program". - Kenzi
