The coalition brings community members together to create and promote an alcohol, tobacco, and a drug-free environment for the youths of Lower
Township by focusing on the following:

• Works to change the way the communities view alcohol, tobacco, and drug misuse by being a resource for current information, and by providing evidence-based programs and education.

• Assists in the community with prevention planning and technical assistance to implement drug-free events and programming. 

• Fosters community involvement and works to strengthen our neighborhoods by encouraging partnerships between local organizations and individuals.
