West Linn has youth and young adults who use, and abuse, drugs. In that way, we’re no different than any other community in America. West Linn also has a committed group of parents, educators, community leaders and youth and young adults that is facing the problem head on and doing something about it. In that way, we’re different than many other communities in America.
The West Linn Community Task Force’s goal is straightforward – help youth and young adults avoid drug use and help those who are using and their families find help. We hope this web site serves as a resource for finding the tools that meet your needs and your circumstances.
