Mills has been involved in several projects that prioritize student well-being. In seventh grade, she joined a student-led group at Roosevelt Middle School that focused on substance abuse prevention and attend the Youth Summit at Wittenberg University.
In eighth grade, Mills took a key position in the same prevention group at Roosevelt where they created a public service announcement campaign to play at the Springfield movie theater that promoted improved family communication. She also attended the Youth to Youth Summer Leadership Conference and the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions for America Youth Training.
Now in high school, Mills plans to attend this year’s Youth Summit and is a member of the the Clark County Partners in Prevention Youth Council. This year, the council created a video for Reb Ribbon Week that was circulated to all Clark County high schools and brought further awareness to the importance of drug prevention.
