The Castro Valley Community Action Network (CVCAN!) is a community and school based coalition that was established in 2003 to reduce substance abuse among Castro Valley Youth by addressing the risk factors that lead to drug use and promoting solutions that will lead to a Drug-Free Castro Valley. Our grass-roots coalition members have a strong and visible presence in our schools and our community through numerous activities that we sponsor and support. We regularly partner with the local Youth 2 Youth chapter at Castro Valley High School to bring our message to students in our community.

Our website provides parents and teens with materials and information of how drugs are used, definitions of popular drugs, ways in which parents can tell if their children are using and more! Regardless of your child’s age, it’s never too soon to learn about the drugs that impact Castro Valley — and to learn about the ways you can make a stand against them, through education, treatment, and communication.
