VYSAC · A Central Valley coalition

Valley Youth Substance Abuse Coalition

The Valley Youth Substance Abuse Coalition brings together local leaders, families, youth, and organizations committed to preventing substance misuse and strengthening the well-being of young people across our valley. Through shared knowledge, coordinated action, and practical support, VYSAC connects the voices and resources needed to help every young person thrive.
