Reading Coalition for Prevention & Support

Reading Coalition for Prevention & Support We have many of the pieces in place, including a dedicated and diverse Reading Coalition Board, and highly qualified staff.

We are a coalition of youth & adults living and working in Reading, MA who promote a safe, healthy, vibrant community in which everyone makes healthy decisions and ensures that today's resources shape tomorrow's strengths. There have been many strides to reduce risky behaviors amongst Reading teenagers including a strong commitment from involved parents, dynamic educators, student support professi

onals, school leaders, committed coaches, faith leaders, afterschool professionals, healthcare workers, and other caring adults. “Progress is being made but as a community we have much more to do. Additional recognition by the broader community of youth substance abuse issues will be a key to further success.”

Sharing a resource with the Reading community.

On Monday, March 9, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Reading Memorial High School Auditorium for an unforgettable evening. Holocaust survivor Tibor Spitz, traveling from Upstate NY for this event, will share his remarkable story of resilience and hope. The evening will begin with a moving violin performance of the Sound of Schindler’s List, setting the tone for a night of reflection and inspiration.

This is a rare opportunity to hear firsthand from one of the last living Holocaust survivors, a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Together, we will honor the past, reflect on its lessons, and commit to building a brighter future.

For the safety and comfort of all attendees, security will be present.

Tickets are $20 per person, with a special discounted rate of $10 for students aged 14–18. More details can be seen here: https://www.jewishwakefield.com/templates/articlecco_cdo/aid/6749451/jewish/Evening-with-a-Holocaust-Survivor-March-9.htm
