Champions for Drug-free Youth in Irondequoit

To create systemic change of beliefs, attitudes, perceptions and  practices associated with the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs  among youth, their families and our community at large in order to build a healthy, safe, drug-free community.

To establish and strengthen  collaboration among multiple community sectors to develop and support  the implementation of programs and activities related to prevention,  education and reduction of youth substance use by:

• Acting as a channel for programs and information relating to healthy non-addictive lifestyles,              
• Assessing and reporting the needs of our community through evidence based effective practices, and             
• Addressing gaps revealed by these reports.
