Our Mission

We are on a mission to improve outcomes for youth through partnership and prevention.

Partners Drive

At WCCTC, we collaborate with all sectors of our community including education, healthcare, faith, non-profit and business leaders, and youth and parents, to create a unified, community-wide response to risk and protective factors most impacting local youth.

Our Formula For Success

Through creative public health strategies and an evidence-based community coalition model, we guide youth and coalition partners in the creation and promotion of data-drive health promotion campaigns that positively impact youth across our community.

Prevention

Proactive prevention measures are essential to safeguard youth against risks related to mental health and underage substance use. Our primary prevention strategies address underlying risk factors while also promoting protective factors that set the foundation for more resilient youth, healthier families, and stronger communities.

Youth-Driven

WCCTC is dedicated to a youth-focused approach, ensuring active involvement and representation of young voices at the decision-making table to cultivate programs and initiatives that respond directly to the needs and aspirations of today’s youth.

Collaboration

Through collaboration and a data-driven, evidence-based model, WCCTC leverages diverse experience and expertise to create more comprehensive and effective solutions to address the complex needs of our community.

Share Our Awareness Campaigns

Our data-driven, professionally crafted, public health messages are developed through collaboration with leaders in the business, education, healthcare, faith and human service fields, as well as parents and youth. This collective approach fosters a community-wide investment in our youth and results in a unified response to recognized needs within our own communities.
