Some things to remember about the Montana Youth ChalleNGe Program:

• MYCP is a tobacco free program
• MYCP is a closed campus environment (you can't come and go as you please)
• MYCP is a volunteer program (you have to want to be here)
• All students are subject to random drug testing
• Most importantly - YOU have to choose to change your life in a positive way
