Initiative Partners
Program partners are essential to successfully implementing The Century Council’s programs in communities across America.
Our partners are involved from program creation to program implementation. In addition to our National Advisory Board members, we have advisory boards for education, traffic safety, Hispanic programs, and judicial education. These boards provide expertise on our key issues and program creation. See our National Advisory Board page for a full list of our members.
We pride ourselves on the partners who help create our programs such as Nickelodeon, the Society for Women’s Health Research, The United States Women’s Soccer Players Association, the American School Counselors Association, George Mason University, The American Advertising Federation, the Ad Council, the National Judicial College and the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, to name just a few. See our Program Partners page for a complete list of our partners.
In addition to our advisory boards and our program partners, we also involve elected officials in our program implementation process at the community level. These program launches are held in various community sites depending on the program. In the past those sites have included schools and universities, retail establishments, soccer camps, and state and national conferences. More than 500 elected officials have participated in our programs since we were founded in 1991. Governors, lieutenant governors, attorneys general, Members of Congress, and state and local legislators have all teamed up with us to reach children and parents with important messages and strategies regarding the prevention of underage drinking and drunk driving.
To partner with us or for more information on our partnerships with elected officials please contact us.
Attorney General Patrick Lynch
In 2005, General Lynch partnered with The Century Council at a middle school in Providence to launch Ask, Listen, Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don't Mix ™.
General Lynch also brought the Brandon Tells His Story program to 6 different high schools in Providence from 2005 through 2006.

Most recently, General Lynch participated in 2007's We Don't Serve Teens Week, a nationwide campaign designed to deter underage drinking by reminding adults that providing underage drinkers with alcohol is unsafe, illegal, and irresponsible. General Lynch kicked off the campaign in Rhode Island with a press event in Providence.
