The Stand Project has passionate members
from a variety of roles in our community –
both personal and professional.
Some of are concerned for our children and/or grandchildren. Some of us see the damage of substance abuse up close in our jobs at school,
at the police station, the local hospital, and city and state government. Some of us are living with a family member who has a substance
abuse problem. And sadly, some of us have lost someone to substance abuse and live forever with a hole in our heart. We all
come from different experiences but share a common passion – the youth who live and learn in our community.

STEERING COMMITTEE
The Stand Steering Committee is a board of nine dedicated volunteers who are passionate about the well-being of youth and about making a positive difference to our community. Through their thoughtful leadership they provide oversight of the coalition’s mission driven programs, the execution of its policies supporting good governance, and the evaluation of the coalition’s impact made in the local community.
STUDENT GROUP
Our outstanding student group is comprised of student volunteers from the Upper Arlington community. Current members represent Upper Arlington High School, but we welcome UA students who attend other high schools.
