The Alliance for Safe Kids (ASK) is a Yorktown Heights, New York-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Founded in 2002 by members of the Yorktown community, the Alliance for Safe Kids was incorporated in 2006 as a charitable organization. ASK is a coalition representing all sectors of our community working together to provide a safety net for the youth and families within our community. Our mission is to promote awareness and prevention of substance use/ abuse and other destructive behaviors damaging to our youth. ASK is a collaboration within the community – parents, teens, educators, law enforcement, government, medical professionals, businesses, faith leaders, civic groups – aimed at providing youth with the information and skills needed to make healthy decisions while emphasizing the need for families to protect and nurture their children by getting informed and staying involved. By partnering with all areas of the community, we collectively strengthen the safety net that protects our youth.
