It’s our mission to partner with all members of the community to achieve resilience against substance use, reduce violence, and promote a healthy and safe environment for our youth and families.
Our History
Founded in 2003, Fighting Back Santa Maria Valley emerged from a coalition concerned about the impact of drugs and alcohol on local youth and families.
The nonprofit’s scope has since expanded to include reducing violence and promoting a safe environment in the Santa Maria Valley, encompassing several districts and nearly 30,000 enrolled students.
Through partnership, leading coalitions, and fostering resilient relationships with at-promise youth, Fighting Back aims to create a drug-free community and counter negative influences, one child at a time.
