The Marlboro Township Alliance for the Prevention of Substance Abuse serves Marlboro Township residents from kindergarteners through seniors by providing substance abuse education, drug-free activities, resource materials and referrals, when necessary. The Alliance conducts needs assessments, produces an annual prevention plan, and advocates for enhanced prevention services based on community needs and priorities. The Alliance also provides a variety of audiovisual and written materials, as well as current information about alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse and its effects on individuals, families and the community as a whole.

The Marlboro Township Alliance for the Prevention of Substance Abuse functions as a catalyst in the community to raise public awareness about alcohol and drug abuse. The membership is representative of all constituencies within the Township as well as its institutions. The primary goal of the Alliance is to develop a community norm consistent with non-use of alcohol by underage persons, responsible use by adults, and no use of illegal substances.

The Alliance for the Prevention of Substance Abuse sponsors workshops to provide information about living skills to both the youth and adult population. These workshops are provided as a community service and are free of charge to Marlboro residents. Alliance program information, including dates, times, and registration codes, are published in the Marlboro Township Recreation and Parks Commission semi-annual brochures and are included in the Recreation and Parks web page listing of programs . The Alliance sponsors model youth social activities and provides opportunities for youth to become involved in their community. Marlboro youth are encouraged to not only participate in these activities, but to plan and run them as well. The Alliance seeks to unify community effort and increase communication and networking among all existing agencies. Ideas and suggestions are welcome from all members of the community.
