Texans for Safe and Drug-Free Youth is the state’s leading organization working to end underage alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. Founded in 1997 with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation administered by the American Medical Association, our statewide coalition brings everyone together for a common purpose: to create healthier, safer communities in which youth alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use have no place.

Building on the strengths of our longtime identity as Texans Standing Tall, TxSDY is committed to shaping a healthier future by creating safer communities where our children can thrive. As a passionate partner to all who share our goal of preventing youth substance use, we grow knowledge and confidence by providing facts and evidence-based approaches to youth leaders, families, schools, communities, and other agencies, equipping them with the best tools and information they need to join us in creating change. As a statewide coalition, we work tirelessly for all Texans.
