My
name is Madelyn Gelpi, but most people
prefer to call me Maddie! I am
16 years old and was born and raised
in good ol’ Slidell, LA. I
am a junior at Northshore High School,
and love getting involved in school
improvement and spirit activities.
I also love playing music on the piano
and guitar in my free time! I
am apart of the PRIDE troupe, a group
of drug and alcohol free St.
Tammany Parish teens who influence
the community to live substance-free
lifestyles. The reason I am apart
of the YALL team is because I realize
the dire need for change in Louisiana.
Because of my involvement with PRIDE,
I have become very passionate about
starting a movement across our community
to inform, and make people aware of how
alcohol has become so normal in our
society, even with teenagers. I
know that through hard work, dedication,
and a strong team, we can help make
a huge impact on our communities, and that’s the
reason I am apart of YALL!

year old senior who attends Zwolle
High School. I first got involved
with SADD in the 8th grade and I
have continued my affiliation. I
became interested in becoming a YALL

came. I love the idea of standing
up for what I believe, and making
positive changes. YALL is giving
me the opportunity to speak out,

In my opinion everyone should join
some type of club that makes environmental
and local changes for the better.
