View Award Description

Niskayuna Community Action Program's Drug Free Communities Program - The Niskayuna Community Action Program (N-CAP) is an all volunteer coalition dedicated to reducing youth substance abuse using the grant funding to enact new initiatives, promote policy changes and support prevention education and training for students, parents, and community. N-CAP's goal is to reduce alcohol use by 9 -12th graders by 3% and marijuana use by 6 -12th graders by 5%. N-CAP serves the Town and Central School District of Niskayuna, NY. Primarily in Schenectady County, this also includes small parts of Albany and Saratoga counties. The total served population is approximately 25,000. 59% of adults have a Bachelor's Degree or higher. Median household income is $95,542 and the median value of a home is estimated to be $259,900. Unemployment is low. The Niskayuna Central School District ranks as a top academic performer as reported in the Capital Region Business Review, with a graduation rate of 96%. There is a high school, two middle schools and five elementary schools totaling just over 4200 students, with 2381 in our target grades 6 -12. It is a moderate-needs school district with 12% free or reduced lunch. The district is 72% white, 4% Black or African-American, 17% Asian, 4% multi-racial, and 3% Hispanic or Latino. Niskayuna High School students report 30-day usage rates for marijuana that are higher than the national average. To achieve reductions in teen substance mis-use, N-CAP will work closely with students to create campaigns for social norming, to develop student leaders and role models, and to provide education about risks and alternatives. We will collaborate with Town and School District partners to improve and enforce policy. To change community norms, N-CAP will target parents with an educational campaign including "Be a Parent Not a Friend," using statistics collected in the PNA Survey. We will offer educational forums and promote a consistent anti-drug message disseminated by our sector representatives. N-CAP will also focus on strengthening the Coalition, with an emphasis on sustainability through recruitment and retention. The goal is to increase Board of Directors membership by 3 adults and 2 students and expand active Coalition participation by 20. We will work with our Sector Reps to identify key leaders and build community partnerships. With the assistance of our prevention professional partners like OASAS and the National Guard Counter Drug Task Force, N-CAP will provide training to Coalition members so they can be knowledgeable participants in the effort to reduce youth substance abuse. Over the lifetime of the grant, N-CAP will work closely with hundreds of Niskayuna youth and community members and ultimately impact for the better the lives of over 3,500 students.
