The Story of PATH

Uniting our communities to inspire all learners to live a healthy, positive lifestyle, with a focus on reducing and preventing alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use.

Our Mission:

We use three primary non-traditional methods to reduce and prevent substance use:

  • Community Organizing

    Our community group PATH is made up of individuals from a wide variety of community sectors. PATH ensures that community members can share their perspectives.

  • Youth Engagement

    Our student groups and youth events provide a variety of local youth engagement and leadership opportunities. We also involve youth in environmental strategy planning.

  • Positive Messaging

    We share the statistical truths that MOST Huskies do not drink alcohol or vape in an effort to focus on and grow the positive, preventative factors in the JCC Schools community.
