Empowering Youth. Engaging Families. Eliminating Substance Abuse in Beaverhead County.

Be the Change 406 Coalition is a youth-led substance prevention organization dedicated to creating a safe and healthy Beaverhead County. Since 2018, we’ve been empowering young people to make positive choices through evidence-based education, community advocacy, and substance-free activities. Our mission is simple yet powerful: increase healthy opportunities and decrease substance misuse among youth through collaboration, education, and advocacy.

The facts speak volumes – 75% of Beaverhead County teens haven’t used alcohol in the past 30 days, 82% haven’t used e-cigarettes, and 92% haven’t used marijuana. Most of our teens are making healthy choices, and we’re here to support them every step of the way. Through monthly game nights, policy advocacy, educational workshops, and youth leadership development, we’re proving that prevention works when communities come together.
