Power Through Prevention Community Coalition aims to increase community collaboration through trainings, community events, and building awareness about the impact of alcohol and marijuana use on the teen brains. Our goal is to reduce substance us in youth ages 9 to 18 years old through limiting their access to substances, decreasing social acceptability of alcohol use, educating parents, adults, and youth about the health impacts of marijuana use, and advocating and assisting with the enforcement of local ordinances through policy change and sustainability.
