Mission Statement

The Harrison Youth Council is a New York not-for-profit corporation dedicated to reducing the use of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and other harmful substances by youth in our community. Through our efforts and commitment to equipping youth with the social skills necessary to cope with interpersonal and intrapersonal pressures and challenges, the Harrison Youth Council seeks to establish a stable and stronger community. To achieve its mission, the Harrison Youth Council provides research-based educational prevention programs, parent support groups, presentations, and professional support through individual, family, and group counseling, as well as consultation and referral services for families within the Harrison community. We collaborate with the school district’s professional staff, police officers, and other community partners to accomplish our mission.
