Parent Pledge

Parent Pledge

I PLEDGE to not allow people under the age of 21 consume alcohol on my property or under my supervision at any time.

I PLEDGE to be present at any gathering involving people under the age of 21 on my property to make sure that no alcohol is available to youth under the legal drinking age.

I PLEDGE to spread the message to my friends and family that parents and other adults can prevent underage drinking by limiting youth access to alcohol in their own homes.

I grant permission to Upstream Parent and Cortland Area Communities That Care to list my name so that other parents know I am committed.

Thank you for taking the pledge!

Thank you for taking the Parent Pledge and for participating in the Upstream Parent campaign. As a parent, you are the most influential person in your child’s life. We encourage you to have a conversation with your child about the Pledge. For additional tips on how to make your conversation count check out our website.

You are not in this alone. 

90% of Cortland County teens did not report being provided alcohol by their parents in the past year.
