Become a Junior Advisory Board Member
During the 2025-2026 school year, we launched our first-ever Junior Advisory Board made up of students committed to drug prevention in Monmouth County. We are extremely proud of our inaugural members – Ava, Elle, Gianna, Michael and Brayden (pictured below) for their advocacy to the student population and for helping expand our education programming. They have helped bring speakers to their schools, volunteered many hours at our TSF events like the Infinity Gala, the Freeze Addiction Polar Plunge, and our Ladies Luncheon today. Our Junior Advisory Board is looking to expand with students eager to volunteer to help us fight addiction, spread awareness and save lives. Please contact Cheryl Stavola, Director of School Partnerships at [email protected] to join this dynamic team!
How you can help:
- Help bring Tigger Stavola Foundation speakers and messages to your school, and volunteer at foundation events when you can.
- Encourage friends and classmates to ask for help and talk openly about mental health—without shame or judgment.
- If you feel comfortable, share how substance use has affected your life or community, so others know they are not alone.
- Share accurate, helpful information about prevention and mental health in a welcoming and respectful way.
- Lead by example through kindness, healthy choices, responsibility, and support for others.
“I’ve seen how addiction can affect families, friendships, and futures. I believe honest conversations and education can help prevent it. Being a Junior Board Member gives me a chance to use my voice, support other students, and create positive change in my community.”
