It also provides the incentive and means for those who use, and are not yet chemically dependent, to stop. Any student in 7th-12th grades wishing to belong to DFY will fill out the Membership Application and Parental Consent form and voluntarily submit to a drug urine screening. Applications may be obtained from the DFY Faculty Sponsor at each school site or by contacting the Student Assistance Coordinator. When screening results verify the student is drug free, a pictured identification card is issued to the student. By accepting the DFY identification card and to remain in the program, students agree to be randomly screened for alcohol and other drug use.
Positive incentives combat the use of alcohol and other drugs.
