About UsGuam's youth leadership movement began in May 1988 Barbara S. N. Benavente “Auntie Bobbie” and Gayle Osborn “Mama Gayle”. Originally known as the Dededo Drug-Free Organization (DDFO), it began with about fifty youth and their parents gathered in a small meeting room of Santa Barbara Church Parish hall to discuss the idea of involving youth in drug prevention work.
Two decades later, Youth for Youth LIVE! Guam (YFYLG) continues to evolve. YFYLG is a non-profit, community-based, youth-centered, youth-driven drug prevention program for teens in middle and high school. YFYLG is built on the belief that the youth are leaders of today and have much to continue towards making positive changes in their families, schools and village communities. Teens are actively involved in prevention program development, implementation and evaluation. |
