Save A Life

Informing and Empowering Students

Save A Life

Save A Life was a program designed to inform and empower high school students and adults to become community allies and first responders to support teens and families in crisis. In 2010, the Yorktown Interfaith Ministerial Association designed this program in order to combat preventable deaths in our community. ASK was thrilled to join these efforts and continue this program which has directly touched the lives of over 3,000 community members.

After canceling our 2020 Save a Life event, we have been unable to resume the program due to a lack of funding.
