CND is a non-profit organization that empowers individuals to achieve their potential. We do this through:

• innovative drug and violence prevention programs,

• positive youth development programs,

• and comprehensive adult outpatient treatment.

Our after-school and summer day camp programs reach more than 1,500 at-risk kids in our community every year - kids that live in Columbus’ neediest neighborhoods and attend our weakest schools.

CND works with K-12th grade youth to help them set and achieve their goals for future success.

CND serves adults with addiction issues to help strengthen the whole community and address some of the biggest problems facing the families we serve.

Who We Are

OUR STORY Serving Franklin County since 1989

Community for New Direction (CND) began in a two-bedroom apartment in the Sullivant Gardens

Housing Development. The lack of positive opportunities in the community caused too many youths to

turn to drugs, alcohol, gang activities, and crime. The program focused on building relationships with

the youth in this community and began to demonstrate success.

In 1995, the program incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Because of its' success, the

Franklin County ADAMH Board asked the agency to open another office and expand its services to the

near east side. In 2010, The Prevention Council of Central Ohio’s Board of Directors voted to pursue a

merger of its programs and funding with Community for New Direction.

Today, CND serves more than 1,800 individuals a year. The primary populations served are African-

Americans, Hispanics, Somalis, and urban Appalachians. Services are provided through in-school,

after-school, and summer programming for K-12th grade youth.

CND has established strong working relationships with schools, and currently has in-school programs

operating in 19 Columbus City Schools and three Reynoldsburg City School sites.

In 2014, CND added outpatient substance abuse disorder treatment to provide a safe haven for adults

to find the support they need to make healthy choices that will strengthen their connections to a better

life.

Today, CND is serving the community in a greater capacity than ever. We look forward to continuing to

serve the community's needs and help individuals build a bridge to a brighter tomorrow.

“All of those associated with Community for New Direction are to be

commended for their foresight, dedication, and selfless donations of

time, energy, and ability far beyond what was required or expected.

These fine people have earned the respect and admiration of many

and have set an example of concerned and responsible citizenship

worthy of emulation.” – Senator Kevin Bacon, 3rd Senatorial District

“Through CND, youth are engaged, they get along and

there is a level of mutual respect in this program I’ve

not seen anywhere else. That is why I’ve been involved

for 10+ years with the organization. With your support,

CND is able to give students the best chance at a

bright and healthy future. Thank you for helping us to

change lives and change communities. ”
