Three Bullfrogs lead the charge of county-wide high school students in a media campaign to reduce underage drinking through the Calaveras County Youth Council. Seniors Nina Fichtner and Gabriel Forjan, alongside junior Wyatt Pitto, serve as members of the Calaveras Youth Council, a countywide chapter of the Friday Night Live (FNL) program locally coordinated by the Calaveras County Office of Education.
Coordinator Kellie Canepa shared, “The Calaveras County Youth Council’s multimedia campaign challenges common misconceptions about youth and alcohol. Research shows that social norms, or the behaviors and attitudes a group believes are acceptable, strongly influence individual choices.” Adding, “Campaign materials include educational posters, digital graphics, and video and audio PSAs shared throughout the county."
