Through the NYAC, CADCA aims to expand young people’s understanding of important topics, including substance use and overall well-being. Members take the lead on action projects and initiatives, develop and deliver presentations, and strengthen their expertise in prevention and public health efforts. In the 2024-2025 program year, NYAC members represent 15 states and Puerto Rico.

Applications for the 2025-2026 NYAC will open in late summer 2025 – keep an eye on this page and CADCA’s social media channels to apply!
