MEMBERSHIP BROCHURE
 

Would you like to become a community leader in youth substance abuse prevention?

Join the Drug-Free Community Coalition! Individuals representing parent organizations, youth service providers, law enforcement, recovery and treatment programs, the school system and privately-owned businesses work together to improve access to treatment and reduce substance abuse, especially among youth, in our community by:

• Recruiting volunteers to work with students at Knox County's Alternative School
• Supporting positive youth activities such as the Knoxville Youth Summit and YATI after-school programs
• Organizing community workshops and training about commonly abused substances
• Reaching out to faith organizations and local churches to expand the network of support for those recovering from addiction

The coalition meets from 12-1 p.m. on the 4th Tuesday every other month. Locations vary from month to month. Participation can increase knowledge of substance abuse and the tough issues our young people are facing today. If you would like to join our efforts, call (865) 588-5550 or send an email to mdrugcom@bellsouth.net.
