Partnerships For Success Coalition
The Partnerships For Success (PFS) Coalition has identified alcohol use among youth ages 12-18 as the youth substance use problem to prevent with PFS funds. The PFS Coalition, a subgroup of the Stratford Youth and Family Advisory Board, is a youth-adult coalition working to reduce underage drinking by raising community awareness of the problems associated with underage drinking and limiting youth access to alcohol. The coalition brings together community leaders, school officials, police officers, parents and youth to send a clear, consistent message across the community that underage drinking is inappropriate, unacceptable and harmful.
