Shortcuts are tempting. They promise escape, relief, or quick pleasure

But many shortcuts come at a high cost—especially substance abuse. For young people, substance abuse does more than affect health. It disrupts focus, damages relationships, weakens confidence, and steals time that can never be recovered.

Every hour lost to addiction is an hour taken away from growth, learning, and purpose. Talents go undeveloped.

Dreams are delayed. Futures are compromised.

YESA exists to educate and empower youth to make informed choices. We believe that young people deserve clarity, not confusion.

Strength, not dependency. Choosing a drug-free life is not about restriction—it is about freedom. Freedom to think clearly, act boldly, and build a future without regret.
