About

 

Mission Statement: Be Bothered is dedicated to reshaping our community's approach to underage alcohol and marijuana use. We strive to create a safe and substance-free environment for youth in Sacramento County by educating and advocating for change. ​

​

History: The Be Bothered Movement was started in 2018 by local youth and caring adults who were concerned about underage alcohol and drug use in Sacramento County. 

​

​Be Bothered is a member of the Sacramento County Coalition for Youth (SCCY), a group of caring community members working together to make Sacramento a safe place for young people to grow up, free from the influences of substances that are addictive and harmful.
