High School - Dangers of Fentanyl and Other Illicit Drugs

During the month of May, our very own Ralph Ornelas visited several local high schools, including Marina, Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Back Bay, and Valley Vista, to present on the dangers of drugs, especially fentanyl. Ralph is a retired LASD Commander and has extensive experience working with youth to prevent drug and alcohol abuse.

At Robyne’s Nest we prioritize the health and wellbeing of the youth in our community, and we believe in being proactive in educating and inspiring these teens to build healthy futures!
