An excellent two days for members of our Students Against Destructive Decisions at the Youth Ambassador Retreat held at Assateague Island State Park. Many thanks to our Worcester County Health Department for conducting informational sessions on substance abuse and to Salisbury University communication students for sharing their leadership skills with us. This experience gave our students more knowledge and greater confidence to lead awareness campaigns in our communities. And - an awesome cornhole set, hand painted by our students, topped off the two days!
