Choose Your Vibe - Arrive Alive!

The VADETS Choose Your Vibe - Arrive Alive! campaign is a social media campaign to promote healthy, alcohol free lifestyles and the avoidance of consequences to health and wellness, academic and career achievement that results from engaging in illegal underage drinking and impaired driving. This webpage provides resources and a timeline for student ambassadors to reference throughout the campaign.

What is the Choose Your Vibe Campaign?

We want to engage Virginia high school students and college freshman in promoting and celebrating their alcohol-free lifestyles. Your Vibe promotes non-drinking behavior and non-drinking drivers. We aim to change the misperception of alcohol use among students and help to decreasing trends in youth alcohol related fatalities!
