Coming Together for a Healthier Liberty

Liberty Alliance for Youth, also known as LAFY, is a community prevention coalition serving the City of Liberty and Liberty Public Schools. We bring together parents, youth, educators, professionals, local organizations, and community members to support the health, safety, and well-being of young people.

Prevention works best when communities collaborate and when young people know they are surrounded by adults, peers, schools, and partners who care.

Serving Liberty Since 1989

Liberty Alliance for Youth was formed in 1989 and has grown into a community-based prevention coalition serving the Liberty area.

Over the years, LAFY has built strong partnerships with schools, prevention partners, local organizations, and community members to support youth substance use prevention, mental health, and overall well-being.

Our mission is to bring youth, families, schools, and community partners together to prevent youth substance use, promote mental health, and build a healthier, more connected Liberty community.
