The Alleghany Highlands Healthy Youth Coalition is a community-driven initiative dedicated to empowering young people to lead safe, healthy, and drug-free lives. Our mission is to bring together schools, families, and local organizations to create supportive environments that foster resilience and informed choices. Through education, outreach, and prevention programs, we aim to reduce youth substance use, promote mental wellness, and build a stronger, healthier future for the entire Alleghany Highlands.  The coalition is supported by grant funding from the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services. It is composed of various members of the community with a common interest in the health of Alleghany County youth. This includes, but is not limited to parents, youth, community partners, etc.
