The goal of the Prevention Summit is to provide an enriching and culturally competent training and networking opportunity for youth, volunteers and professionals working toward prevention of substance abuse, violence and other destructive behaviors. We want to reach the continuum of highly experienced youth and adults from diverse backgrounds to those that are new in the field, and continue to build on our foundation of success in Washington state.
