About Chittenden East Community Partnership
Chittenden East Community Partnership evolved from two groups working within the Chittenden East community - the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Advisory Council and the New Directions Steering Committee. In June of 1999, these two groups merged to provide Chittenden East with one, unified group, working to create a safe and drug-free environment for our youth.
SAP counselors and teams give educational presentations that help prevent substance use, identify students with problems, coordinate support groups to help students cope with substance use, and may refer students to community programs for treatment. By being located within the school, SAP's help to build better linkages among students, their families, school personnel, and community service agencies.
"Youth are 25% of our population,
but 100% of our future."
Walter Smith
