Drug Free Youth Association
Background and activities Drug Free Youth Association The DYFA is founded in 2001 and strives to: 1. Create awareness and change the behavior of the youngsters by education them about drugs 2. Help and give out positive values to the youngsters by focusing on doing something for a good cause. The DYFA believes that behavioral change is achieved by showing them that it is cool to not use drugs and being a good person instead of scaring them of the consequences. Inside the organization they have several music bands which they use as trainers for the workshops they deliver.
