The youth program offered by EASTIE Coalition and De Nosotros Foundation is an initiative focused on preventing substance abuse among young people. Through a comprehensive approach that combines life skills learning and community building, we aim to empower youth to make healthy and constructive choices. Our program not only focuses on substance abstention but also strives to strengthen youths’ social, emotional, and problem-solving skills, equipping them with solid tools to navigate life’s challenges. By fostering a sense of belonging and connection to the community, we work to create a supportive environment where young people feel valued and supported on their journey toward a drug and alcohol-free life
