About UP Coalition Network
We're a group of the 14 Communities That Care (CTC) coalitions serving the UP. CTC is evidence-based to help lower rates of youth problem behaviors, including substance use, violence, delinquency, school drop out, teen pregnancy, and depression. Our goal is simple: Create communities in the Upper Peninsula where youth thrive.
