SADD, Inc.

Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) is celebrating 45 years of student-led leadership, education, and advocacy in 2026. Founded on the belief that when young people are empowered to lead, they are the strongest force for positive change, SADD amplifies student voice to create safer and healthier communities. With a nationwide network of student leaders and supportive adult allies, SADD delivers dynamic, youth-driven programming on traffic and mobility safety, mental health, and overall prevention. Our work centers students at every level, mobilizing them to take action, influence peers, and make decisions that protect and uplift their communities.

SADD has been elevating the youth voice, expanding leadership opportunities, and strengthening our commitment to student empowerment for 45 years because we know one simple truth: when students lead, change happens.
