...with Alliance For Youth

Portage County Alliance for Youth is a coalition of agencies and individuals who care about youth in Portage County. In the 2004 Search Survey, Portage County teens reported that during the last 12 months, 47% had been to a party where kids their own age had been drinking. We are involved in the AODA Coalition because we believe positive adult role modeling will achieve long-term cultural change and ultimately lead to an improved community where more youth can thrive.
