Our Background
The Plymouth Youth Development Collaborative (PYDC) is a community coalition in the Town of Plymouth, Massachusetts that was created in 2004. The goal of the coalition is to strategically prevent and reduce substance use, to increase the protective factors that support a healthy community, and to enhance community collaboration in Plymouth.
PYDC is comprised of many community stakeholders from a variety of sectors including: the school district, law enforcement, youth serving organizations, volunteer organizations, faith-based organizations, state/local government, substance use organizations, media, businesses, parents/community members, and youth. With the help of these stakeholders as well as state and federal grant funding, the coalition is able to enact change through evidence based strategies and initiatives to increase awareness, provide information, and ultimately change behavior.
