Safe Harbor Cohasset Coalition

What Safe Harbor Cohasset Coalition does

Safe Harbor Cohasset Coalition, Inc. is a Massachusetts-incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit community coalition founded in 2015 and headquartered at 35 Ripley Road, Cohasset, MA. Its mission is to reduce and prevent underage substance use and addiction by fostering an informed and inclusive community through collaborative programming. The coalition's core offerings include the Youth Ambassadors leadership program for students in grades 7-12, Screenagers documentary screenings in Cohasset Middle and High School health classes, the Our Safe Home directory of substance-free households and merchants, an annual Candlelight Vigil for International Overdose Awareness Day (now in its 9th year), a Cohasset Road Race Fun Walk fundraiser, the P3 Campus anonymous reporting app routed to the Cohasset Police Department, family therapy and sober-living housing scholarships administered via Recovered Souls, and biennial Youth Wellness Surveys administered since 2015.

The coalition's technology stack is built entirely on commodity platforms: a WordPress website at safeharborcohasset.org, Google Forms for scholarship applications, Google Drive/Slides for survey administration, the third-party P3 Campus mobile/web reporting app, and Mailchimp for monthly newsletters. There is no proprietary software or API surface.

The business model is donation- and grant-funded. Revenue sources comprise individual donations accepted via PayPal and checks, proceeds from the annual Cohasset Road Race Fun Walk (shared with the Cohasset Rotary Club), and federal Drug Free Communities Grant funding received since 2017. All programs, resources, and services are provided free of charge to Cohasset residents; scholarships act as financial assistance rather than priced products. The coalition operates exclusively in Cohasset, Massachusetts, with no commercial customers, no sales motion, and no disclosed revenue figures. Governance rests with a volunteer Steering Committee chaired by Corey Evans, with Emily Ludwig serving as Program Director.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Emerging players

• Caron Treatment Centers: Nonprofit addiction treatment provider with substantial prevention and education programming targeting youth and families. Comparable in mission but operates further along the care continuum (residential treatment) rather than community prevention only.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: Large national addiction treatment and prevention organization with K-12 prevention curricula and youth programming. Comparable in substance use prevention education but operates nationally and includes treatment services Safe Harbor does not provide.

Broad incumbents

• The Truth Initiative: Large-scale youth substance use prevention organization (originally tobacco-focused, now broader substance use) using mass-media youth-targeted campaigns. Comparable in youth prevention mission but operates nationally with vastly greater resources.
• Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD): National advocacy and prevention organization addressing underage drinking and drunk driving through community coalitions, school programs, and policy work. Highly comparable mission around underage alcohol access — the same issue Safe Harbor's Our Safe Home campaign targets.
• CADCA (Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America): National umbrella organization representing more than 5,000 community anti-drug coalitions, including Drug Free Communities grantees like Safe Harbor. Provides training, advocacy, and the coalition model Safe Harbor operates within.
• National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD): National advocacy organization addressing alcoholism and other drug addictions through prevention, education, and affiliate networks. Comparable in community-based prevention orientation but with broader geographic and policy scope.
• Partnership to End Addiction: National nonprofit providing parent-focused substance use prevention resources and 'Start the Conversation' materials — listed as an active resource partner of Safe Harbor — operating at far larger scale with similar prevention mission.

Direct peers

• Ask Listen Learn (Partnership for Drug-Free Kids): Youth and parent education program providing alcohol prevention curriculum for schools — listed as a Safe Harbor resource partner. Comparable in providing school-based underage drinking prevention resources to similar middle school audiences.
• Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD): National youth-led organization focused on substance use prevention, safe driving, and mental health for high school students. Highly comparable to Safe Harbor's Youth Ambassadors program in both target audience (grades 7-12) and prevention mission.

Others

• P3 Campus: Third-party vendor providing the anonymous reporting app Safe Harbor uses for student safety tips routed to law enforcement. An enabling technology partner rather than a peer, but worth noting as the infrastructure layer underlying Safe Harbor's tech-enabled reporting program.
