The Purpose of the Scottsdale Youth Substance Abuse Coalition (SYSAC) is to create a supportive and empowered youth-led community organization that actively addresses substance abuse among youth. SYSAC aims to engage in prevention initiatives, education, and stigma reduction. SYSAC is committed to community building, collaboration, and diverse representation, amplifying our collective impact.

Grounded in the values of inclusion, compassion, and openness, SYSAC aims to create spaces where all voices are heard, and all individuals are valued and supported. By promoting understanding, empathy, and resilience, we strive to cultivate a community where youth can thrive, free from the harms of substance abuse.
