Embattle Social Evils
Angelos is a national movement dedicated solely to creating a drug free, alcohol free and healthier society. We work among youth and communities through awareness campaigns, street plays, interactive sessions and campus outreach programs.
Our mission is simple – to empower young minds in schools and colleges to eradicate alcoholism, drug abuse, suicides and other social evils, building stronger and healthier communities.
