Steve Pasierb

Hi, I’m Steve Pasierb, president of The Partnership. We’re a national nonprofit dedicated to helping parents and all adults striving to raise healthy kids. To me the issue of drug abuse and childhood drinking looks like the faces and lives of my seven wonderful nieces and nephews, the faces of their parents working so hard to help them have a bright future, and the many thousands of people I’ve met doing drug prevention work over the past seventeen years -- first in Baltimore and now all over our nation in communities large and small. This is a uniquely human issue, one that has it’s roots in adolescent health. I’m blessed to be doing this work and to be trusted to lead this organization. We’re a small staff, but supported by hundreds of dedicated volunteers – scientists doing the latest research, community leaders, treatment experts, communications pros and some of the most amazing parents you’ll ever meet – all of whom bring our work to life. All of us here at the Partnership truly want to help and be a real resource for parents.

About the Partnership

The Partnership for a Drug-Free America is a nonprofit organization that unites parents, renowned scientists and communications professionals to help families raise healthy children. Best known for its research-based national public education programs, the Partnership motivates and equips parents to prevent their children from using drugs and alcohol, and to find help and treatment for family and friends in trouble. The centerpiece of this effort is an online resource center at drugfree.org, featuring interactive tools that translate the latest science and research on teenage behavior, addiction and treatment into easy to understand tips and tools. At drugfree.org, parents can connect with each other, tap into expert advice for children of all ages, and find the support they want and need to raise healthy families. The Partnership depends on donations from individuals, corporations, foundations and other contributors. The Partnership thanks SAG/AFTRA, the advertising industry and our media partners for their ongoing generosity in the fight against drug abuse in America.
