To reduce alcohol and other drug abuse by educating our youth and adults about leadership skills and healthy life choices through community collaboration.

The Columbia County Connects coalition is made up of community members that represent school districts and communities throughout Columbia County. This coalition was established through the Columbia County Juvenile Justice Committee. Funding is provided from Columbia County Health and Human Services, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI), and a Federal Drug-Free Communities Support grant.Wis. Dept. of Health & Family Services (DHFS). The main programs are Youth Connects (teen leadership), Community Action Teams, and Teen Court.
The 40 Developmental Assets play a major role in our programming. The following are the top 4 assets we are currently addressing:
· Positive Family Communication
· Caring School Climate
· Community Values Youth
· Resistance Skills
