Drug-Free Communities Program

The Drug-Free Communities Program is a U.S. initiative aimed at reducing youth substance abuse by fostering community support and collaboration. It provides funding and resources to local coalitions that work together to create safe environments for young people. These coalitions involve various community members, including parents, teachers, law enforcement, and local organizations, who develop strategies and interventions to prevent drug use. The program emphasizes education, awareness, and community engagement to promote healthier choices among youth, ultimately leading to stronger, drug-free communities.
