“Reducing and preventing at-risk behavior and strengthening
the social and emotional well-being of Tri-Town youth.”

TRI-TOWN COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT FY 2015
Celebrating over 45 years of service to Tri-Town Youth and Families!

Tri-Town Council is proud to have served the communities of Boxford, Topsfield and
Middleton for more than 45 years. For nearly five decades we have worked with thousands
of youth and families providing parent education, youth programs, professional
development, prevention services, after-school enrichment and various types of family and
community support. This grassroots effort established in 1968, originally called the Tri-
Town Council on Drugs, was organized by concerned citizens to address youth drug and
alcohol abuse. Over these many years TTC has become a community mainstay working
with the Masconomet School District, the Tri-Town Elementary School Union and many
community partners. We focus on social and emotional well-being; working with our
partners to build the important assets that all youth need to support and empower their
healthy choices, self-esteem and resiliency through childhood, adolescence into adulthood.

Today, Tri-Town Council continues to support the evolving needs, concerns and priorities
of the community and its stakeholders through cooperation and collaboration with our
schools, parents, youth, law enforcement, public health, community organizations and
many local and regional resources.

We greatly appreciate the support from the Town of Boxford whose residents voted to
provide Tri-Town Council with $29,614 in FY15. Municipal Funding contributions
from Topsfield, Boxford and Middleton represent a significant portion of Tri-Town
Council’s annual operating budget. This funding is vital to the financial health and
organizational stability of the Tri-Town Council.

We are pleased to enclose a summary of the programs, services and initiatives undertaken
by Tri-Town Council during the past fiscal year.

Thank you for your continued support of Tri-Town Council and for being partners with us
in this important work for our community.
With gratitude,

Mary Dodge Lisa Teichner
President, Board of Directors Executive Director
