Underage Drug & Alcohol Accountability Program (UDAAP)

If you receive a citation for underage alcohol or drug possession, you may have the option of participating in UDAAP — an alternative to the effects of having an underage violation on your record. The program is designed to support youth and help keep them safe. It is educational and restorative in nature, not punitive.

UDAAP at a glance

Court comes first

You must appear at your initial court date and ask to enter the program before you can register. The class cannot be an option without that court appearance.

The class

8 hours of education with a test at the end of class — an additional 4 hours (12 total) for drug violations.

The cost

8-hour course: $175. 12-hour course: $265. Payment in full is required to finalize registration.

The location

All classes are held at Hope Council, 6103 39th Ave., Kenosha, WI 53142.

Upon receiving the citation, you have three options

1

Forfeit or plead guilty

Forfeiting (not attending your court date — this is why your citation may say court is mandatory) or pleading guilty results in a fine and other penalties on your record.

2

Plead not guilty

Go to court, plead not guilty, and request a trial. If you are found guilty, the court imposes a monetary fine in addition to other penalties.

3

Ask to enter UDAAP

Go to court and ask to enter the Underage Drug/Alcohol Accountability Program. You must appear at your initial court date before registering — then complete the class as an alternative to the violation’s effects on your record.

What UDAAP requires

Participation in 8 hours of education and passing the test at the end of class (an additional 4 hours for drug violations).

Payment of all related costs: $175 for the 8-hour course, $265 for the 12-hour course.

What the class is like

At UDAAP, participants take part in both one-on-one and group discussions and activities designed to build awareness and understanding. The class focuses on risk behaviors, real-world consequences, and practical prevention strategies. Participants are encouraged to reflect on their own choices and identify changes that can reduce risk moving forward.
