Eden Prairie High School
StudentI think that it is very educational and makes everyone aware of things going on in the community. It helped me better understand the severity of substance misuse. All of you were really well spoken and had way more impact coming from you than a teacher.

Meet Our Founder
Colleen RonneiAfter losing my son Luke to the opioid epidemic in January, 2016, I worked hard to convert my heartache into meaningful change. I worked with the Steve Rummler Hope Network, participated in Hennepin County’s NoOverdose Campaign, and spoke to many families who were also personally impacted by the opioid epidemic. Through that work, I realized my heart was with young people, and that’s where I wanted to focus my efforts. I founded Change the Outcome because I believe that information is power, and providing young people with honest, judgement free education about substances will empower them and save lives.
