Founded in 1984, Better Business Bureau Accredited Charity Next Step has been located in Tyler, Texas since our founding in 1984. We were originally established as Sister Communities Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (SCCADA) to address the issues of youth alcohol and substance abuse. We have 3 programs that help create healthy communities through training, education, mentoring, and counseling:

Our Community Coalition Partnership Program works to bring concerned community forces together to prevent alcohol and drug abuse with East Texas youth. This program is funded primarily by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS). Our coalitions seek to alter community perceptions and public policy. We have three coalitions that support 9 counties. Our Comprehensive Counseling Program works alongside schools and juvenile probation offices to offer counseling services for less than the cost of a full-time district employee. Our Community Assistance Service helps citizens find the services they need to help them, or loved ones, overcome alcohol and/or substance abuse problems. Our staff helps them take that first step of calling the appropriate agency to schedule an assessment or counseling session.

Today, we recognize Juneteenth, a day honoring freedom, resilience, and the enduring pursuit of hope and opportunity for all.

At Next Step Community Solutions, we believe every young person deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. As we reflect on the significance of this day, we also celebrate the strength of community, the power of compassion, and the importance of creating spaces where every teen can thrive.
