Our Mission
SADD’s mission is to empower young people to successfully confront the risks and
pressures that challenge them in their daily lives.
We accomplish this by creating, equipping and sustaining a network of peer support chapters
in schools and communities focused on peer-to-peer education. SADD fosters a sense of
belonging and promotes resiliency, leadership and advocacy skills so that young people make
positive life decisions.

“SADD has given me so much more than a group of friends and something to do after school.
It has given me the courage to speak up and to be myself. SADD has given me the confidence
to dream to do amazing things and to encourage others to do the same. SADD has helped
give thousands of teens like me confidence, courage and hope. SADD is truly an organization
that puts the students first.”

Dear Friends:
SADD is an incredible story about the impact of positive peer
pressure on teenagers.
We like to say that SADD has been changing young lives for
over three decades, but really SADD’s success is the victories
of hundreds of thousands of individuals—students, advisors, parents, state coordinators,
and funders across the country, reaching out individually and collaboratively to help young
people successfully navigate the critical time of life called adolescence. Throughout this report, you’ll meet empowered youth from SADD Nation who are standing
up and speaking out for right choices and good decision-making. These teens are discovering
more about themselves and the world around them every day. They are learning how to fit
in and how to define their beliefs. They are role models of responsibility.
We are privileged to be a part of the honing process, shaping and guiding these young
people as they strive to be their best, and together, we are touching others who may seem
to have lost their way. Through SADD, teens can take advantage of opportunities to build
confidence and to find their voices.
We envision a world in which young people make positive decisions that advance their
health and safety. Our mission is a lofty one: to empower young people to successfully
confront the risks and pressures that challenge them in their daily lives. We accomplish this
by creating, equipping, and sustaining a network of student-led chapters in schools and
communities focused on peer-to-peer education. With the help of a network of thousands
of compassionate and caring adult mentors, we foster a sense of belonging and promote
resiliency, leadership, and advocacy skills so that young people are empowered to make
positive life decisions.
We feel good about the lives that are touched and the decisions that are made that will
have a lifelong impact. SADD’s rich history shows that students can be a powerful force
in helping their peers make good choices, transforming schools and communities in the
process.
Everyone has a story to share, and each young person in SADD brings his or her own unique
history and perspective to the challenges teens face today. Our work is about changing
young lives and your support is critical. Thank you for being a Friend of SADD.

Empowered Youth
“SADD has become my family over the course of high school. And with this family, I’ve
learned to grow as a person by working with my ‘family’ for a greater purpose. It’s more
than the meetings and events, it’s about the people you work with and the people you
influence.”
Michelle Gao, California
“It is our job as teens to reach out to other teens, helping to prevent them from using
or becoming addicted to drugs. SADD students work to inform the student body about
the dangers of drugs and alcohol, while providing a support group and offering safe
alternatives.”
Kara Wehmeyer, Missouri
“SADD has helped me make healthier decisions and has allowed me to build my
leadership skills. I have seen, firsthand, the profound, positive effect SADD’s messaging
can have upon my peers.”
Jason Demeter, Ohio
“I believe that SADD offers students a chance to meet peers with similar values. For
me, SADD is not just an extracurricular activity; it is a place where teens can help make
a positive impact on the world. SADD has given me the tools to help myself and others
make healthy and positive decisions.”
Brady Rainville, Vermont
“Being involved with SADD has allowed me to be a leader in my high school, my state, and on
a national level. Through the various activities SADD has to offer, I have been pushed out of
my comfort zone and have learned so much about myself. Having the opportunity to work
with SADD has affected me in so many ways and I will always treasure these experiences!”

2013 Highlights
2013 Highlights
SADD transforms the lives of hundreds of thousands of teens and their families each year, and helps save young
lives. We thank the businesses, foundations, government, and state agencies and the individual donors whose
contributions are essential to continuing this important work.
We are pleased to share with you these highlights from this past year. As you’ll see, we have much to celebrate.
As a part of National Drug Facts Week, coordinated by the National Institute on
Drug Abuse (NIDA), empowered teens from five SADD high schools in Arizona, Georgia,
Louisiana, North Dakota, and South Carolina joined thousands of their peers across the
country in a week-long effort to shatter the myths on drugs. They hosted unique school
assemblies, featuring expert speakers and question-and-answer sessions, on preventing the
misuse and abuse of prescription medications.
Twenty-two teen leaders from 16 states were trained through SADD SPEAKs (Student
for Policy, Education, Advocacy, and Knowledge), in the inaugural year of our youth advocacy
institute, sponsored by Ally Financial, Bridgestone America’s TeenDriveSmart, Liberty Mutual
Insurance, and The National Road Safety Foundation. A Capitol Hill briefing attended by
nearly 100 congressional staff and interested parties included remarks by U.S. Representative
Michael Capuano, NHTSA Administrator David Strickland, IIHS President Adrian Lund, Deputy
Director of the Tennessee Governor’s Highway Safety Office Mia Vickers, and several student
speakers. After the briefing, the students made more than 20 visits to congressional and
committee offices, using their training to emphasize the importance of peer involvement
in traffic safety policy development consistent with the national highway bill, Moving
Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century, or MAP-21.
SADD’s national teen driving research study, in conjunction with long-time
partner Liberty Mutual Insurance, revealed important findings: more than one in 10
teen drivers report driving under the influence on New Year’s Eve and parents may not be
helping to curb this behavior, as findings suggested parental consent to underage drinking
is also on the rise. In the spring, findings were released which revealed one in four teens
admitted to driving under the influence during prom and graduation seasons, with many
believing this does not impact their safety.
SADD trained 25 youth speakers as part of its SADD Student Speaker Bureau who
then engaged in opportunities across the country, addressing various audiences as part of
AT&T’s “It Can Wait” anti-texting while driving campaign. More than 1.2
million no-texting-while-driving pledges across the country were secured by AT&T through
ItCanWait.com, Facebook, Twitter, and text-to-pledge initiatives.

2013 Highlights
Members of the SADD National Student Leadership Council, in conjunction
with The National Road Safety Foundation, developed a driving
proficiency mini-grant campaign, #DrivingSkills101, which rolled out in the
fall. Chapters across the country conducted local awareness programming about safe driving
and submitted activity reports, earning prizes and rewards.
TOYOTA served as the lead sponsor for the 2013 SADD National Conference in
Orlando, Florida, for more than 500 youth from across the country who benefited from the
knowledge and resources gained at the four-day youth leadership program. Armed with
new skills, knowledge, and action plans, these youth leaders returned home better prepared
to influence their peers and others in their schools and communities. Special thanks also to
the following sponsors: Abt Associates Inc; AutoNation; Cars.com; CARFAX, Inc.; DCH Auto
Group; Edmunds.com; The Florida Department of Transportation; The National Road Safety
Foundation, and the Tom E. Dailey Foundation.
Four SADD youth leaders presented at the 2013 Distracted Driving Conference in
Washington, DC, hosted by the National Organizations for Youth Safety (NOYS).
Through SADD’s partnership with DCH Auto Group, youth and adult leaders
in 28 high school SADD chapters in California, New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut
continued to receive valuable support, guidance, and mentoring. During regional spring and
winter trainings, youth set action plans and goals for National Youth Traffic Safety
Month (May) along with special projects in conjunction with their dealership sponsors.
Delivering Customer Happiness
SADD’s Mobilizing the Community: Youth Taking the Lead underage
drinking prevention program moved forward in both Massachusetts and Illinois.
The program is designed to reach youth, parent, and community influencers as well as the
media and public at large. Nominated by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health,
this program was accepted into SAMHSA’s (Substance Abuse Mental Health Services
Administration) “Service to Science” program which reviews and evaluates effective
prevention programming.
Chapters throughout SADD Nation used the revitalized 21 or Bust campaign kit—an
environmental strategies approach—to connect with local law enforcement and conduct
educational awareness campaigns with local alcohol retailers in an effort to reduce
underage drinking.
