The Community Advisory Board might sound like a dull place where students sit around a large oak table reading facts about drug use with a leader using a wooden mallet, but is lacks this formality.  CAB, as the students call it, is a place where peers can come together and have fun.  They play games, learn information, plan conferences, and even get some important work done.  The meeting is mostly facilitated by older students that have graduated from the program. 

They plan weekly meetings where teenagers from the San Ramon Valley can be a support for eachother as they stand up for their values.  Kim Gallagher, the Program Director, has been helping with the program for as long as anyone can remember and the kids still love her.  

Many have come and gone through the program, but all can recall the memories of energizers, crazy games, discussions, and the friends.  The Iron Horse Middle School cafeteria houses the hundreds of kids during the day, but on Tuesday nights it transforms into a place where kids can come and be themselves away from the judging and pressures of high school.
