ê       Founded in 1984, FNL launched in SLO County in 1991 as a partnership between the County’s Drug & Alcohol Services (which employs Coordinator and staff) and the non-profit, 501c3, SLO County Friday Night Live. 

ê       The Board of Directors meets the 1^st Wednesday of the month, from 5:30 – 7:00pm at Drug & Alcohol Services in San Luis Obispo.

ê       Board meetings run 90 minutes on average, and a Board member can expect to contribute an average of two additional hours per month (this can include committee meetings, events, or fund raising).

ê       The Board’s primary functions are to raise funds for the program and to serve in an advisory capacity.

ê       Board members participate mainly in fundraising events (averaging 2 per year, including the annual Mock Rock in spring) and sometimes help chaperone youth events.

ê       The FNL Board raises funds for scholarships, youth leadership conferences, school personnel support stipends and materials, youth incentive items, program equipment and materials, and prevention campaigns.

ê       The program currently includes over 30 chapters between 4^th and 12^th grades across SLO County, from Nipomo to Shandon!

ê       FNL Board Members are also kept abreast of the latest information regarding youth development and substance abuse prevention, and often have opportunities to network with community coalitions and other youth-serving organizations.
