A Space for Youths to Talk About Real Issues
“COA gives youth a place to feel known, get connected with their peers, try new things, be mentored, lead, have fun, and thrive. Through COA’s various activities, youth find a space to talk about real issues they’re facing, learn how to live healthy lives, and discover who they are. Teri Steel, the staff, and volunteers work tirelessly to create this safe and healthy environment that our youth so desperately need. The work they do is fundamental in creating a healthy community. The best part? All of their services are free to the youth and families they serve. I always recommend COA to every parent I meet.”
Amazing Organization
What an amazing organization and group of people who’s sole purpose is helping teens make healthy choices and decisions for healthy living and tools to say no to drugs and alcohol and prevent suicide. I am so thankful my son has these wonderful people in his life to educate and inspire him to try new things and live healthy! Thank you so much!!!
Passion for Helping Others

Interning with COA has been an overwhelmingly positive experience
Interning with COA has been an overwhelmingly positive experience. They have given me the opportunity to design fliers, posters, and social media campaigns for each organized event. This has helped me expand my portfolio all while exercising my abilities to support the community. Not only does COA offer a positive work environment, they are interested in the growth of every individual. COA is supportive of interns establishing new connections that will advance them in their future endeavors.
COA Offers a Safe, Healthy Environment

For me, a single parent, having the COA programs and staff as an additional support system to help solidify her personal values and morals has been an absolutely crucial and such a blessing.”
