Micah Meline is the Youth Prevention Specialist for the Know The Truth Prevention Program at Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge. He has overcome 20 years of substance use disorder and has developed a passion for helping youth see the importance of making healthy choices. He went through the 13 month long-term program that Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge offers and, after graduating, decided he would like to work for the organization that helped him change his life. In his spare time, Micah enjoys being with friends and family. He also likes going out and seeing the sights that Minnesota has to offer. Recently, he has taken up the hobby of fishing but claims he still is “just learning”. His goal is to one day become a known name in the recovery community.
