North Shore CASA has been collaborating with the North Shore School District since 2017 to bring high quality speakers and programs to our kids in all grades. Our coalition is on a continuous search for speakers to connect with and motivate our youth to be drug-free. CASA engages with Youth Sector Leaders in the high school to gain insight on their needs.

Adam Birkenstock
Long Island Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence
Adam has spoken to our elementary and middle school students on numerous occasions, tackling vaping/e-cigarettes head on. CASA was amazed by how much our kids already knew about vaping! It was clearly NOT too early to begin their education about building strong foundations and making healthy choices.
