Our Mission

The RISE Drug Free MKE coalition raises awareness of substance (mis)use, and, through inclusive education, elevates our entire community, from our youth to our elders, out of the harms caused by substance (mis)use.


Established in 2011, the RISE Drug Free MKE coalition (formerly MCSAP) exists to raise awareness to elevate youth in Milwaukee County through education, and to lift the entire community out of harms caused by substance use. With our coalition partners we will RISE to provide youth with Resources for Inclusive Substance Education. RISE is more than a name: It is a call to action, and a promise of the direction we're moving in as a community, together.

Dry January is a public health initiative from Alcohol Change UK that began in 2012, which has become increasingly popular over the years. The benefits of not drinking for one month are being shared around the world and people are eager to reap the many benefits of abstaining. It's about introducing conversations about drinking culture and inspiring positive change.
