Underage drinking and drug use are serious problems in Mundelein , as well as in other communities. In fact, the Surgeon General of the United States has declared underage drinking a national public health epidemic. It is imperative that all of us work together to address this very serious health, safety, and well-being risk. The Mundelein STAND-UP Task Force is comprised of community leaders, org
anizations, schools, youth, parents, and neighbors who are very concerned about the health, safety, and well-being of Mundelein youth. These entities are working together to reduce underage drinking and drug use in Mundelein and surrounding communities. STAND-UP works with the Lake County After School Coalition (www.lakecountyafterschoolcoalition.org),the
Mundelein After School Coalition (MASC), and
the Lake County Underage Drinking Prevention
Task Force (LCUDPTF).
