Get Involved

One person giving the gift of time adds great value to an organization.  Many local coalitions began with one person or a small group motivated to impact their community. There are several ways you can support and contribute to the work PreventionFIRST! does.

Connect with a local coalition
Neighborhoods with coalitions see lower incidences of youth substance use. The more community members active in a coalition, the stronger and more effective that coalition can be.
