Our Mission

FOCUS AREAS

Education

Youth & Substance Abuse Prevention

Protecting youth from early exposure to drugs and alcohol is a central pillar of our work. We’ll highlight local prevention strategies, support youth-serving organizations, and help shape policies to keep kids safe and healthy.

The “Dads on Duty” initiative involves male community members partnering with local schools to offer mentorship, guidance, and a positive presence for young students. This ongoing effort brings mature, committed men into classrooms and school hallways, helping to reinforce strong role modeling.
