The mission of Community – The Anti-Drug Coalition (CTAD) is to reduce the use of alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs among youth in Bannockburn, Deerfield, Highland Park, Highwood and Riverwoods.
The Coalition is a volunteer-led organization which strives to build and sustain a safe and healthy community in which youth feel protected, confident and empowered to make drug-free choices. We bring together representatives from schools, parents, youth, government, healthcare, faith, law enforcement, local businesses and youth-serving organizations to support our teens

TAKE ACTION
Be Prepared
