The Lindsey Meyer Teen Institute (LMTI) is a dynamic, fun, and innovative way for both high school students and adult advisors to learn new skills, meet new people, and become empowered to create change in their communities and schools.  LMTI was developed in 2005 in Lindsey’s memory and honor.

The LMTI kicks off with two, five-day Summer Leadership Conferences at Camp Ralph Mason in beautiful Hardwick, NJ. The program, however, is a 10 month commitment for participants & advisors, as well as the LMTI staff. LMTI is ideally suited for groups of students that intend to continue working together after their participation in the Summer Leadership Conference. The goal of the Summer Leadership Conference is to provide "Action Groups" (3-20 students from the same school/community) with the tools and knowledge necessary to develop and successfully implement peer-focused prevention strategies to reduce risk factors identified by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP). The LMTI works closely with students throughout the school year to provide support as needed. In addition, several supplemental events, such as a statewide Reunion, a statewide Lock In, and Regional Networking meetings give participants the opportunity to stay motivated throughout the school year.

LMTI also offers middle school conferences and Teen Summits.  Check out www.lmteeninstitute.org for more information!
