Welcome to DPYC

 

The Council for Developing Positive Youth Culture (DPYC) has been in existence for over 15 years. The mission is to create and sustain a positive culture for Ellington's youth through collaboration among the community, schools, and town agencies. The DPYC also serves as the coalition for a federal grant the town received for the prevention of underage drinking. Two subgroups were created from this coalition, The Parent Connection and Rise Above Youth Leadership Group. In addition, a media campaign was also initiated in response to student survey results regarding how youth get their alcohol.
