Uplifted Youth

OUR HISTORY

S.A.Y. is a community coalition dedicated to building resilience among our youth, including reducing underage use of alcohol, marijuana and other drugs that negatively impact the health of our youth.  Since its founding in 1984, the DATF has worked to convene all sectors of our community to create positive change for our young people.  In July 2015, Scarsdale Edgemont Family Counseling Service (SFCS), an accredited family service agency, assumed the role of Lead Agency and Fiscal Agent for S.A.Y.

OUR MISSION

To support and advocate for youth in being informed, developing skills, and building resilience to make safe and healthy decisions and to connect youth substance use prevention efforts in our community.
