College Students

Transform Your Experience

Transformative Communities

You are not alone but you can’t do this alone. College students have the profound opportunity to establish their identity, but often feel powerless and alone in understanding and overcoming their addictions and struggles. We seek to change this narrative and provide specialized help to college communities all over. Change is possible. Join us!!

What does that look like?

We would love to invite you to one of our support groups. These are filled with adult leaders who understand the complexities of addiction and how to treat the journey with care, as well as other peers who are dealing with the same struggle and seeking support.

What should I expect in Group?

Groups are typically run online via Zoom for about 2-hours once a week. It is a vulnerable and transformative experience led first by the leaders to grow trust and walk through the process together. If the time commitment is the issue - let us know!

Meet Joel

Joel knows the struggle well from his own experience and journeying with hundreds of young men through their story. You are not alone in your struggle, there is hope and you can do this, but you cannot continue to do this alone! He is looking forward to meeting with you and walking with you in this process!

Joel Warneking is the Executive Director for 423 Communities, serving men, women, and youth all across the country.
