The Governor's Prevention Partnership equips, empowers, and connects organizations, communities, and families to prevent substance abuse, underage drinking, and violence among youth and promotes positive outcomes for all young people in Connecticut.
One in three Connecticut youth could benefit from a mentor, but don’t have one! You could make a difference in the life of that young person. A member of our staff will be in touch with you to connect you with a local mentoring program in your area.

The Governor’s Prevention Partnership stands in solidarity with communities here in Connecticut and across America as we condemn unjust killings driven by institutional racism in our country. As leaders in the fight for youth prevention, we understand that our work provides an opportunity to equip mentors and practitioners with the resources they need to best support the students of color that they serve day to day. That’s why we work hand-in-hand with our national partner “MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership” to provide culturally responsive, inclusive trainings.
