About Youth to Youth

The Youth to Youth program is a community-based drug, alcohol, tobacco prevention and youth leadership program created in 1982 in Columbus, Ohio and is proudly sponsored by Community Against Abuse (CASA) in the San Ramon Valley, Castro Valley Community Action Network (CV CAN) in Castro Valley, and the Alameda County Office of Education (ACOE). The conference is an entire day that kids get together, have fun and talk about some really important issues. It is an opportunity for young people to support each other working towards one common goal - to make the very best decision and live a healthy, drug free life.
