Family University, established in 1994, is a not-for-profit corporation  formed following a town meeting where 300 members of the Katonah Lewisboro School District gathered to address the large numbers of alcohol and drug related accidents involving John Jay High School students. 

It is a community based organization made up of teachers, parents, students, counselors and other professionals.  Family University believes that fostering effective parenting skills and enhancing communication among family members will help prevent the misuse of drugs and alcohol, and encourage children to make positive choices.  It is a valuable community resource that has impacted a growing number of parents and children of all ages.
