Youth Action Group
DCP/SAFE (The DeKalb County Partnership for a Safe, Active and Family Environment) is a countywide coalition that promotes wellness and healthy lifestyles for youth and adults. Students at Kishwaukee Education Consortium, DeKalb, Genoa-Kingston, Hiawatha, Hinckley-Big Rock, Indian Creek, Sandwich and Sycamore high schools meet monthly to plan prevention activities in each of their high schools and communities. These activities include Red Ribbon Week, Seat Belt Safety Awareness, Great American Smoke Out, Violence Prevention, as well as, Prom and Graduation Safety. Students are also very active with the grade and middle school students. They plan and chaperone a countywide event at the YMCA each year for middle school students as well as go to the grade schools to talk to the students about staying alcohol and drug free.
