Our Mission:

The Alpena D.A.R.E. Program seeks to provide support towards the education of our community’s school children. The mission is to assist and support the D.A.R.E. officers and provide them with materials essential to teach youth abstinence from substance abuse and violence and how to improve their ability to make healthy life choices.
