We Are Change Rally

We Are Change Rally is a statewide celebration and gathering of youth dedicated to elevating the message around youth choosing to be substance free and active contributors fueled by knowledge, skills and attributes to impacting positive change in their communities throughout the state.

Since its beginning in 2012, thousands of young people from across the state have convened in Columbus annually to show their commitment to a healthy lifestyle, deconstruct the stigma around teen substance misuse, and support one another with like-minded individuals. As youth environments have evolved, young people have greater awareness of overall mental wellbeing and its influence in disrupting substance use/misuse.  Healthy youth are empowered youth and the We Are Change Rally encourages youth to become change agents to create positive change for themselves, their peers and their communities.
