The organization's scope of services presently includes substance abuse prevention services such as: coalition building, capacity training, community development and organization, technical assistance, resource development, information sharing, public awareness and advocacy, and gang awareness and education. These activities allow us to find ways of building linkages and developing collaborative relationships among groups and communities, create viable, long-term solutions to the issues and problems identified by community members, and develop long-range action plans that utilize the creativity, talents, and energy within the communities. Currently, training is also targeted at community systems, such as schools, social service agencies, law enforcement, government, coalitions, elected officials, behavioral health organizations, as well as families, parents and youth.
