Bridging the Gaps (BTG) started in December of 2005 as a vision of a small group of concerned community members who came together to make positive change in Rochester around underage drinking and drug use. Today, BTG brings together community members to bridge the gaps in prevention and early intervention of youth substance use. We address alcohol, marijuana, prescription and over-the-counter drug use and tobacco use by youth through programming and raising awareness of the realities of substance use. Those involved in the coalition want to change the alcohol and drug culture of Rochester for our youth and our future.

A coalition of 24 partner organizations in Sullivan County whose mission is to join together community members from Acworth, Alstead, Charlestown, Claremont, Cornish, Croydon, Goshen, Grantham, Langdon, Lempster, Newport, Plainfield, Sunapee, Unity, and Walpole to identify the substance abuse issues and causes and to collectively determine a sustainable course of action that will reduce substance abuse and brighten the future of our communities.
Community Alliance for Teen Safety (CATS) was founded in 1996after 9 teenagers lost their lives in car crashes within a short span of time in Derry, NH. Community members started a grassroots effort to determine the cause of these tragedies. The Community Alliance for Teen Safety was formed as a result of this effort. Inexperience and lack of seat belt use was determined to be the cause of these teen deaths. CATS continues to be a force in the community that addresses high-risk behaviors.
CATS operates by securing grants and donations. The organization has received state, municipal, foundation, and federal grants to support its programs as well as private donations. It is a non-profit corporation recognized under Section 501 (C) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
