Niskayuna Community Action Program

N-CAP

Our Mission

We are a volunteer, community coalition whose mission is to improve the quality of life for all those living, working, or learning in the Town or School District of Niskayuna with an emphasis on substance use prevention by youth.

Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 18, and check out the website for all the ways you can participate in Niska-Day 43 – Parade, Business Tent, Community Tent, Games, Food Vendors and more!

Upcoming Events:

On Saturday, April 27, 2024, from 10am to 2pm, the Niskayuna Police Department will host Drug Take-Back Day at Niskayuna Town Hall. 

Residents are encouraged to drop off expired, unused or unwanted prescription drugs during this event for safe and responsible disposal. This event is free, anonymous, and open to the public; no appointments are necessary. For safety reasons, needles of any kind are not accepted.

The drug overdose epidemic in the United States is a clear and present public health, public safety, and national security threat. DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day encourages the public to remove unneeded medications from their homes as a measure of preventing medication misuse and opioid addiction from ever starting.

For more information about this event, please contact the Niskayuna Police Department (518) 386-4585.
