Communities for Alcohol- and Drug-Free Youth (CADY) is a New Hampshire-based nonprofit organization focused on preventing youth substance use through collaboration, education, and community engagement. Founded in 1999, CADY serves Central New Hampshire communities and works to empower healthy choices and drug-free lifestyles by building community capacity and youth resiliency via a three-tiered strategy of information, education, and collaboration. The organization positions itself as a national leader in youth prevention and outreach, offering the Prevention Accelerator—a suite of evidence-based toolkits drawn from trusted sources to help schools, coalitions, and youth-serving organizations prevent substance use and promote mental, emotional, and behavioral health. CADY operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with headquarters in Plymouth, New Hampshire, and maintains a regional focus while mentoring and partnering with other organizations to foster protective factors and healthier environments for young people.
