ABOUT US

PACT is a youth-focused substance prevention coalition that brings together teens and adults in Amesbury to collaboratively address issues that may contribute to youth substance use. To create lasting change, we engage multiple sectors of the community to reduce and prevent substance-related challenges through awareness, education, and action, tailored to be culturally inclusive and age-appropriate. 


MISSON

To cultivate community-wide collaboration between young people and adults aimed at preventing and reducing youth substance use through open dialogue, data collection, resource sharing, problem-solving, and collective action.

VISION

To create an Amesbury where empathy and understanding flourish, and young people are supported by involved adults. Through strong connections, they will gain confidence, develop a strong sense of self, and have a hopeful outlook on their future.

Funding

In 2020 the City of Amesbury received a five-year Drug-Free Community grant from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to fully fund PACT's efforts. Annually, PACT receives $125,000 to fund our prevention efforts and pay our staff. In 2025, we will reapply for a five year extension and, upon approval, our efforts will be funded through 2030.
