Volunteers sought for Sticker Shock prevention campaign
LĪHU‘E – Life’s Choices Kaua‘i is seeking volunteers for its Sticker Shock prevention
campaign, which aims to raise awareness about the consequences of underage drinking.
The campaign is a collaboration between the county, business owners and their
customers and island youth.
On Friday, April 28, from 5 to 9 p.m., participants will meet at various businesses around
the island that sell liquor, and set up sticker displays that call attention to the legal ramifications
of providing alcohol to minors.
“We would like to invite anyone who’s interested to join us in our efforts to educate the
community on the negative effects of underage drinking. We plan to post over 2,000 stickers
that day and could use the help,” said Prevention Specialist Maile Murray.
“This initiative also enhances the leadership and advocacy skills of our youth
participants,” said Life’s Choices Kaua‘i Coordinator Theresa Koki. “In addition, it’s a great way
for parents to start a discussion on this important topic with their keiki.”
For more information and/or to volunteer for this event, please contact Koki at 241-4925
or Murray at 241-4926.
If you need an ASL interpreter, materials in an alternate format, or other auxiliary aid
support, please contact Koki or Murray at the phone numbers listed.
