SPIFFY Coalition

SPIFFY is a coalition of over 80 community partners working together to improve outcomes for youth in Hampshire County. SPIFFY is administered by CES on behalf of the partners. Together we promote strong families and create a local culture where youth are supported to make healthy choices. SPIFFY’s prevention activities involve community-based organizations, faith communities, schools, local colleges and universities, parents, youth, law enforcement, municipal government, media, and human service groups. Our coalition fosters collaboration between schools and communities, promotes strong families, and supports positive youth development. This approach collects and uses data to identify strategies, policies, and evidence-based programs that reduce unhealthy behaviors.
