Funding science-based education for teens
Established in 2016 by Southern Glazer’s, the Youth Alcohol Awareness and Education Foundation, Inc. funds programs that support underage drinking prevention.
With support from the Foundation, the AlcoholEdu for High School program developed by leading technology company EverFi is available at no cost for public and private high schools in South Florida, Dallas, Texas, and Metro New York.
AlcoholEdu for High School is a 90-minute, interactive course that engages students with science-based alcohol education and interactive exercises, providing an individualized experience that changes perceptions, motivates behavior change, and supports healthier decisions regarding alcohol.
