PreventEd has been part of the St. Louis community since 1965.
While this is a challenging mission, it has inspired a corps of dedicated volunteers over the years. We all know that the course of substance use runs through our neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, and families. Take a closer look, and you’ll see PreventEd’s footprints in all the same places. The scope of this disease is expansive, but the boldness of our mission is even larger. We would love for you to join us.
