About the Community Coalition for Healthy Youth (CCHY)

CCHY: A Tompkins County Resource on Youth and Substance Abuse

We work together to reduce substance abuse and violence by building an alliance among schools, government, agencies, civic and faith-based organizations, and concerned individuals. Together, our Coalition strengthens a community commitment to keep alcohol and other drugs out of the hands of youth, and offers a wealth on information on how our young people can grow up healthy and strong.
