The NYS Department of State Division of Consumer Protection is issuing a CONSUMER ALERT as college, vocational and graduate school students head to campuses.
Targeted scams are an issue for students, along with safety tips which can help during this transition.
Tuition, credit card, book purchases, roommate rental and other scams are among those which can create significant issues and losses.

Public health and safety, along with many other associated activities affecting all ages, are among focuses of Allegany Hope as we encourage individuals and families to help one another by becoming involved with our free community Information Ambassador initiative for spreading the word about Building Healthy Communities Through Healthy FamiliesTM.
Volunteer Ambassadors assist in various areas of need which you, yourself, may have identified and have a passion for as it relates to greater community awareness, education and action that lead to positive impact in all areas of everyday life.
