Tri-Community Coalition recently had the opportunity to attend the 2015 CADCA Leadership Forum in Washington D.C. Our intern, Dana Ocker, presented her poster at the Ideas Fair, which highlighted our youth group, Y.O.U., and the best ways to engage youth in prevention work. You can view the poster and handouts here.

2014 Annual Leadership Breakfast
We are very appreciative of all the community members that joined us Friday to show their support of TCC, their commitment to leadership, and their willingness to dialogue with others about local issues and topics.
Together with all of your support we were able to raise over $1600! These contributions help us continue our substance abuse prevention initiatives, contribute to our youth coalition's projects and activities, and increase the sustainability of our coalition.
Tri-Community Coalition thanks you for your kindness!
