  • 2: Youth Unfiltered — Episode 2: “Community Impact”
    Oct 27 2025
    In this episode of Youth Unfiltered, students turn their focus to the ripple effects of substance use within their schools and communities. From vaping in hallways to alcohol consumption on campus, they share raw observations of how targeted marketing and the pressure to fit in continue to shape youth culture.

    Through honest reflection, the conversation expands beyond individual choices — exploring how one person’s actions can impact peers, classrooms, and entire school environments. Students speak candidly about witnessing struggles with sobriety, preferential treatment from teachers, and the social divisions created between those who use and those who don’t.

    They also unpack the deeper influences at play — from family dynamics and media portrayal to the constant pressure to succeed. It’s a real and revealing look at how substance use affects not just individuals, but the collective well-being of their communities.

  • 1: Youth Unfiltered — Episode 1: “Identifying the Issues”
    Oct 27 2025
    In the debut episode of Youth Unfiltered, we introduce the authentic voices behind the mic — students from Union, Mountainview, and Heritage — as they open up about who they are, what they face, and how they see the world around them.

    Through personal stories, honest reflections, and one-on-one interviews, these young voices dig into what’s working, what isn’t, and why certain challenges continue to exist. Their unfiltered perspectives shed light on the realities of student life, school systems, and the spaces where real change begins.
