YOUR VOICE WAS HEARD!

With the goal of strengthening schools and neighborhoods, recent Community Town Halls in Southeast and Southwest Portland brought together teens, parents and community members for lively discussions about local attitudes, challenges and solutions to underage drinking and other drug use.

Hosted by Community Action to Reduce Substance Abuse (CARSA), the nonprofit Oregon Partnership, and Marshall (SMASH) and Wilson (PACT) high schools, the Town Halls were part of the Portland Social Norms Project. The events featured community and youth panels; school and community survey results; and dynamic discussions between students and community members.
