CADEkids

Our Story

CADEkids, originally founded as the Corporate Alliance for Drug Education in 1987, emerged from a community-driven needs assessment. Initially focused on elementary schools, the organization has evolved to provide evidence-based programs that teach essential life skills and connect students with vital community resources. In 2009, the name change to CADEkids reflected a renewed commitment to transforming attitudes and environments for children. In 2022, CADEkids expanded its mission by becoming a Student Assistance Program (SAP) provider, addressing the emotional and behavioral health needs of students.

Impact

Last year, CADEkids positively impacted over 5,262 students, with 99% of teachers rating the programs as highly effective. Research indicates that participants in CADEkids programs are 72% more likely to view their peers as non-users of drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes, while also showing significant improvements in attitudes toward violence and academic performance.
