SCARSDALE ACTION for YOUTH
(Formerly Scarsdale Drug & Alcohol Task Force - DATF)

Scarsdale Action for Youth is a community coalition dedicated to building resilience among our youth, including reducing underage use of alcohol, marijuana and other drugs that negatively impact the health of our youth. Since its founding in 1984, the DATF has worked to convene all sectors of our community to create positive change for our young people. In July 2015, Scarsdale Edgemont Family Counseling Service (SFCS), an accredited family service agency, assumed the role of Lead Agency and Fiscal Agent for the DATF
 
S.A.Y. utilizes a research-based prevention framework to assess issues impacting our youth and implements evidence-based strategies that generate population-level change. Our initiatives are informed by science and incorporate best practices to support our youth and community. Its membership includes youth, parents, community leaders, law enforcement, school staff and administrators, Village officials, businesses and more, all of whom work toward the vision of Scarsdale as a community that supports and advocates for its youth.
