Community Crusade
Against Drugs (CCAD) of South Florida, Inc. is a
community-based, non-profit drug abuse prevention and
education organization, working with middle-school and
high-school aged youth in Miami-Dade County.
Initiated in 1982, CCAD serves a densely populated urban area
which is predominantly African-American and Hispanic. Focusing
on low income students and their families, CCAD provides
education about the effects of drugs and addiction, promotes a
healthy lifestyle and responsible uses of leisure time. CCAD’s
programs target areas of Miami-Dade County which evidence the
most tragic manifestation of drug abuse and addiction. Also,
CCAD’s programs cover a wide spectrum, including recreational,
educational, cultural and leadership development activities,
appealing to a diverse population. Additionally, CCAD raises
funds to send low income students to weekend and week-long
summer camps, keeping kids from the streets during the long
summer vacation period.
