Dover Youth to Youth was recently selected by the New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters (NHAB) to receive its Merit Award for Public Service Campaign of the Year. The students were recognized for their series of 4 radio public service announcements that warned the public about the dangers of hosting underage drinking parties and providing alcohol to teens.

The radio spots recognized by the NHAB all revolved around a fatal motorcycle accident that happened following a drinking party in Dover in August 2013. The PSAs incorporated the voices of Youth to Youth students as well as the two individuals who provided the alcohol and hosted the party.

All of the spots have a consistent message about the consequences of underage drinking and providing alcohol to teens. All of the 4 radio PSAs conveyed consistent themes, such as:

“when you provide alcohol to teens – you own it.  You own every dangerous thing they do…”

And:                  “Even good kids can make bad decisions when drinking.”
