Welcome!

Our coalition represents agencies, schools, government, businesses, and concerned citizens in Ithaca and Tompkins County, all working to reduce substance abuse and violence among middle and high school youth through the use of effective, evidence-based programs and practices.

Raising teenagers today is full of challenges and rewards. This website offers information about local resources, advice for families, information for teens, NY laws on underage drinking, excellent web links, and more. Take a look around and consider signing up to stay in touch at Contact Us.
