Mission & Vision Statement

“Alger County United and Thriving: Promoting a safe and healthy environment for all.”

History

Alger County Communities That Care(AC3) is a  coalition of public and private health, education, human service, civic organizations, local businesses and citizens. In 2014, the AC3 adopted the Communities That Care program (CTC), to provide evidenced based prevention programming for all 6th thru 12th grade Alger County youth. Alger youth survey results guide the CTC process in implementing only those programs that directly respond to our youth’s specific needs.

We have five active CTC work groups and over 100 AC3 CTC members receiving emails, volunteering or attending meetings.

Philosophy

We believe in using local data to identify and monitor risk factors youth face in our communities. Based on the Communities That Care model (learn more here), Coalition members work together to improve local resources and address needs.
