What is Friday Night Live?

The Friday Night Live (FNL) program is designed for high school-aged young people and is motivated by youth-adult partnerships that create essential and powerful opportunities that enhance and improve local communities. The Butte County Prevention Unit Committed Program Model is designed to build leadership skills, broaden young peoples’ social network, and implement youth-led projects to improve school climate and reduce youth substance use. The program organizes youth into clubs called Chapters (Club Live/ Friday Night Live) that are comprised of Chapter officers/leaders and general members. 

Committed was initiated in response to the growing awareness of young people’s use of substances and to address youth’s reported feelings of loneliness, isolation, or disengagement at school. The Committed Program Model includes 35 sessions that prepare youth for five major events or projects; with each session involving a youth led meeting agenda. The model is designed so that the Chapter experiences success and a sense of accomplishment, while remaining youth friendly and relevant to youth culture.
