Healthy Communities

The Sylvania Community Action Team supports various campaigns that address the issue of at risk behavior including drug and alcohol use amoung our young people.  Some of those campaigns include:

D.A.R.E.  

S.C.A.T. supports the D.A.R.E. program in our community.  This well-received program places Sylvania City and Township police officers in fifth grade and seventh grade classrooms for a ten week period.  The officers interact with students and teach them skills that will help them resist the tempation to use drugs and alcohol.  S.C.A.T. plays an important role in D.A.R.E. by writing grants to obtain federal money to help fund the program.
