The Mayor’s Task Force on Youth Alcohol and Drug Use was formed in 2006. The Task Force seeks to raise community awareness about local youth substance use and to make recommendations for community interventions to reduce youth use.
As the mission of the Mayor’s Task Force on Youth and Alcohol and Drug Use indicates, members are “advocates for and with youth, committed to creating a community where our youth can lead healthy lives free of alcohol and drug 
use.”
The board consists of local residents, appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City Council.
Applications for the Mayor’s Task Force on Youth Alcohol and Drug Use are available by contacting the City of Northfield City Clerk at City Hall, 801 Washington Street or via the City Website.
Meetings are held on the first Monday of the month; special meetings are occasionally called. Meetings are held from 7-9 pm at the Northfield Community Resource Center (NCRC), 1651 Jefferson Parkway.
