Substance Prevention Alliance of Needham (SPAN)

SPAN is a coalition of volunteers in Needham, MA, dedicated to youth substance use prevention.

We incorporate a collaborative, community-based, and data-driven prevention approach to reduce alcohol, marijuana, and other drug use among Needham youth. 

Through community education, partnership, and strategic action, we will decrease the risk factors indicated in substance use and increase the protective factors known to support youth in making healthy and safe choices.
