The MPC is a community based coalition comprised of individuals representing various public and private sectors of the Middletown community. These sectors include: law enforcement; youth; religious or fraternal organizations; media; school; parents; civic or volunteer organizations; business; youth serving organizations; organizations involved in reducing substance abuse; health care; State, local governmental agency and other interested citizens. The “best practices” literature for community change states that all major sectors of a community need to be around the table in order to impact the norms around substance use and create true community change.
Islanders Committed is the Youth Committee of the Middletown Prevention Coalition. Our mission is to create a safe and healthy community by creating and implementing intiatives to promote well-being at Middletown High School and Gaudet Middle School.
