BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Youth First Board of Directors includes medical professionals, business leaders, law enforcement officials, school administrators, school board members, social service agency directors, religious leaders and leaders of community organizations. The board has a diverse background of experience, knowledge and influence to address the need for additional substance abuse prevention, intervention and treatment in this community.

The Board of Directors is led by Dr. William G. Wooten, a physician certified in addiction medicine and family practice with nearly fifteen years of experience working with area children and adults who have substance abuse problems.

They all have one goal - get and keep our kids off drugs and alcohol.

Youth First was founded by Dr. William G. Wooten, a retired physician certified in addiction medicine and family practice. He continues to serve on the Board along with many other dedicated community leaders.
