Oceanside
SAFE Coalition

Oceanside SAFE Coalition is so proud to partner with our incredible members of OHS Youth Council, NY National Guard Counterdrug Task Force, and NICE Bus to create this amazing campaign (featuring original artwork from one of our Oceanside High School Students!). These banners will be featured on local buses for 2 months, reaching over 33,000 riders.

Although we were unable to attend in person this year - Representatives from the Coalition (including Oceanside Youth) were proud to represent at this year's National Leadership Forum! Throughout the first week of February, CADCA hosted an incredible virtual platform of events, workshops, evidence-based resources and networking opportunities for Coalition's all throughout the United States. It was an amazing learning opportunity for our members to better serve our community!

A very special Thank You to the following local businesses and community partners for helping to promote this important Holiday PSA!

JPauls Terrace Cafe, EGP Oceanside, The Oceanside LIRR, Oceanside Chamber of Commerce, The Oceanside Library, The Oceanside Warriors and Beachway Beverages

Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to participate in the 2020 Community Perception Survey! Your voice will further assist our Coalition in understanding the overall perspective that exists in Oceanside as it pertains to Youth Substance Use.
