When We Work Together
We See Progress Toward a Promising Tomorrow!
One Choice/I Am One
RyeACT is proud to partner with The Institute for Behavior and Health as a founding member of the One Choice Community (OCC).
One Choice/I Am One is a NEW prevention message, supported by brain science and decades of data and research in the prevention field. The One Choice Community is committed to providing a platform for the steadily growing number of youth across the country who identify themselves (“I Am One”) by making One Choice: NO USE of any alcohol, marijuana, or other drugs, for reasons of health.
We are working together to share the One Choice/I Am One initiative with coalitions and prevention organizations. Over the last year, we’ve presented to hundreds of participants at professional conferences including the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) National Conference (April 2019), The School-Based Health Alliance National Convention (June 2019), and the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) National Leadership Forum (February 2020), among others.

No Vape NY Initiative
Youth leaders here in Westchester County care deeply about the health and safety of their peers. They are leading the way to make an impact on the youth vaping epidemic by speaking out!
So proud of our RyeACT Youth Action Team members Kajol and Alex who joined youth leaders from Students Against Nicotine and other peers to participate in this PSA as part of Governor Cuomo’s #NoVapeNY initiative.
