Lead and Seed




The Lead and Seed program is operated by a local non-profit organization, Coalition Pathways, Inc., in Erie County.  It is a nationally acclaimed, and state approved and funded drug prevention program.  The goal of this student driven program is to prevent and/or reduce teen use of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs.  Students will participate in a variety of activities designed to change their community’s behaviors in terms of substance abuse.

The purpose of Lead and Seed is to increase public knowledge about the dangers of underage alcohol consumption, as well as tobacco and illicit drug use in order to reduce and/or prevent substance abuse among the youth in our community.
