Welcome to RAYSAC

Our efforts and resources are focused primarily on educating and mobilizing our communities, parents, and youth about the problem of youth substance abuse, and underage drinking in the Roanoke Valley.

The Roanoke Area Youth Substance Abuse Coalition is dedicated to reducing substance abuse among our youth.   One of our objectives is the development of a focused, research based, strategic prevention plan specific to the needs of the youth in the Roanoke Valley.

Did you know that 26% of Roanoke Valley Youth have
had their first drink of alcohol by the age of 13 ?
(2006-2007 local area Youth Risk Behavior Survey data)
