Local Youth Advocate for Prevention at U.S. Capitol

Six Washington Parish students recently traveled to the U.S. Capitol to advocate for stronger substance misuse prevention policies. Representing their schools, Steven Franklin (Bogalusa High), Chasidy Dyson (Varnado High), and Kynaisha Abron, Jayden Phillips, Zion Jenkins, and Esmeralda Vizcaya (Franklinton High) shared local data and personal stories with Senator Bill Cassidy and Representative Julia Letlow.

The goal is to reduce substance misuse, harm reduction, and encourage healthier outcomes of youth in Washington Parish.

The trip, supported by ADAPT Inc., highlights the students’ commitment to raising awareness and inspiring action in their communities.
