The All Aboard Beaufort Coalition's STAR (Striving to Achieve Resiliency) Youth Leadership Program provides opportunities for middle and high school students in northern Beaufort County to develop peer-to-peer conversations about preventing the use of alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs. 

February's special guest is Beaufort County Assessor Ebony Sanders who will speak about achieving your goals. 

In partnership with All Aboard Beaufort, the meeting will be held Thursday, February 20,  from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m., at the St. Helena Branch Library, 6355 Jonathan Francis Senior Road (map).
