The History of LEAF
The LEAF Council on Alcoholism & Addictions was founded in 1982 by Otsego County residents. The founding members started the organization out of concern for community and family members who were affected by alcohol and substance addictions.
LEAF began its work in the eighties with only volunteers and a small budget, but the organization has grown steadily since then in response to the demands of our mission.
Under the leadership of its board members and co-founder Elizabeth Currier, LEAF has expanded over the years to employ a paid staff, and our budget has grown to nearly a million dollars annually.
Today, LEAF provides Otsego and Chenango County residents with valuable information, referral services, and support for alcohol and substance addictions.
