About Me

Hi, I’m Steve Pasierb, president of The Partnership. We’re a national nonprofit dedicated to helping parents and all adults striving to raise healthy kids. To me the issue of drug abuse and childhood drinking looks like the faces and lives of my seven wonderful nieces and nephews, the faces of their parents working so hard to help them have a bright future, and the many thousands of people I’ve met doing drug prevention work over the past seventeen years -- first in Baltimore and now all over our nation in communities large and small. This is a uniquely human issue, one that has it’s roots in adolescent health. I’m blessed to be doing this work and to be trusted to lead this organization. We’re a small staff, but supported by hundreds of dedicated volunteers – scientists doing the latest research, community leaders, treatment experts, communications pros and some of the most amazing parents you’ll ever meet – all of whom bring our work to life. All of us here at the Partnership truly want to help and be a real resource for parents.
