Youth Coalition's Goal

Our goal is provide alternative ATOD (Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drugs) free activities for youth in the area.  Through the sponsors initiatives they are also provided with training opportunities to assist in self development.  This development may either be educational, team building, self esteem building and a general educational component for them to learn more about themselves and their community.  Youth are encouraged to give back to their community what they have learned.  

Activities coordinated through HACC Youth Coalition:

ATOD Free Dances: ( Admission fees are charged on a non-scheduled basis and proceeds go to fund DJ Equipment or specified HACC efforts).

Trainings: Members are offered opportunities to be trained in areas that educate them on ATOD Free lives.  Fourteen chosen to be by Youth Power officials on issues such as date rape, mentoring, bulletproof bullying and college career choices.

Meetings: Every Tuesday at the HACC teen center 6:00-7:00pm.  This schedule changes based on projects the coalition is working on.
