Drug Free Community Coalition
The Summit County Drug Free Community Coalition (DFCC) is a public health policy initiative that aims to reduce substance abuse among Summit County residents and diminish substance use amongst our youth population. The Drug Free Coalition works toward this goal through rewarding and promoting community focused activities and limiting risk factors that affect our youth. This effort includes multiple sectors of the community and several projects. The DFCC works to fill the gaps in public health policies in our community. Currently, the Drug Free Coalition is working on the following projects: a youth center for Summit County students, Dialogue over Dinner, TIPS training’s for servers of alcohol, developing a new minor in possession curriculum, creating healthy and family friendly community events, and promoting individual choices to encourage a healthy lifestyle for our young adult population.
Become a Drug Free Community Coalition member
The DFC is always looking for enthusiastic new members. The only criterion for becoming a member is for an individual to be passionate about promoting a healthy community. Many members are passionate about a specific project and dedicate much of their time to that effort. The entire coalition meets for breakfast the third Wednesday of every month and each working group meets at the members convenience.
