Compass Alliance was founded in 1998 as a North Shore community-based anti-drug coalition whose mission is to mobilize all sectors of the community to facilitate the safe and healthy passage of our youth to adulthood.
Compass's focus is on training and communicating with parents of middle and high school kids on the North Shore about
youth alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) issues.
