In 1982, Burlington was one of the first communities in MA to start a youth substance
abuse prevention coalition. Members of the BDATF are from the schools, police,
clergy, town employees, selectmen, business, youth and parents. Our mission is to
reduce underage drinking and drug abuse while empowering parents to raise
healthy, substance-free teens!
